The continuos participation of the key persons in the evaluation and kick-off activities will function as the means for sustaining the lessons learned. This assures that feedback on process usage is collected after each process phase and not only at the end of the project. The Assignment Kick off creates project awareness. The kick off can be used to brief team members about the process to be applied during the assignment execution. Process improvements, changes or exemptions can be presented and frequent mistakes made and improvement suggestions from other teams can be discussed thus creating process and quality awareness among the team members.
Negotiation is the prerequisite to process adherence .
The most interesting aspect on process improvement through the Team Assignment Model comes from the notion of negotiation. The team is empowered to find the best possible solution to the assignment. The creativity of the team is focused on finding an innovative way of carrying out the assignment. The negotiations forces the team to explain and defend the solution against the Assignment Orderer and the Resource Owner and thus also to the process owner. In this way the negotiation process catalyses discussions on versatility and efficiency of the process.
