 |
| One of the basic responsibilities of the project manager is to make sure work is taken by team members, whether team
 |
| members sign up for doing work or the project manager assigns work to individuals. However, some project managers are
 |
| not always clear on the work to be done and the person who is responsible for doing the work, which can lead to
 |
| uncertainty and delays.

 |
| A good way to test whether your assignments are clear is to have short, frequent meetings where you ask team members
 |
| what they have completed and what they are responsible for completing in the next time the team meets again. If they
 |
| know what is expected of them, the work has probably been effectively assigned. But if they give you different answers
 |
| than you expect, you may need to work with the team so they can provide more clear and accurate information.
