The PMBOK® refers to the concept of progressive elaboration as a recommended method for defining the project’s scope and producing project outcomes.
Many teams struggle with applying progressive elaboration or lack the knowledge to apply these techniques in manner which allows for continual clarification of the project scope versus expanding the boundaries of the project scope.

Apply progressive elaboration concepts on the creation of project deliverables
Use the Wave Concept to develop project deliverables in a collaborative meeting setting
Keep stakeholders focused on the deliverable or task at hand during meetings
Structure a progress elaboration meeting activity expand the depth of knowledge for a deliverable without expanding the scope of the project effort

Anyone who has supervised someone knows that the work they do may not be the most important thing to the person responsible for delivering the work.
There are so many distractions today, especially when you consider that we are connected to technology nearly 24/7.
Studies have shown that if we put the cell phones down and focus on one thing, the quality of work and the speed for which we can deliver quality work will increase.
Why is it that it is so hard for people to stay focused today?
Is it because of the way technology can “ping” us at any time?
Could it be the fact that we now are interacting more and more with a global workforce?
You can probably say that it is a little bit of everything listed here and more.
As a project manager, you may want to ask people to shut everything off and stay focused on your project for things to be done successfully, but is that really realistic?
What we have to do is to understand more deeply the motivations of our team and make sure that we are planning correctly for reality – sometimes that means having to tell management what that reality is.
This month PROJECTinsight is exploring what motivates people and how that relates to team performance.
They will discuss ideas and strategies for specific scenarios that can help you better manage expectations and increase the probability of timely performance by all team members.
Benefits:
Understand what motivates your team to increase productivity
Learn how to manage team member expectations
Increase team performance and profitability

Giving people tasks that they “want to do” makes a huge difference in their performance, but a few things need to be in place first.
Building a great team starts with trust as the foundation building block.
Once you get your team to a point where they can manage their own conflict and make their own decisions, you will begin to see them be much more accountable and you will see measurable results.
Finally, wrap around this structure a commitment to use each resource in a way that gets them excited about what they are doing – NOW you have an engaged and effective organization.

When your team performs at this level, think about how much easier your job will be.
