That's not my job

Do you follow your job description to a tee? Limiting your abilities is not a good practice for your career growth. Job titles mean nothing. When you see a team member lacking the ability to contribute to the team you need to step up to fill in the gaps if you have the skills to execute the tasks.

When you are on a project team don't get hung up on roles and responsibilities when you have a project to deliver. Everyone needs to help each other out. In the end everyone is a winner when the project is delivered on-time within the budget. It's all about teamwork, not just you.

Always schedule a lessons learned review session at the end of a project. Valuable information will be found out. It will enable better prepared project teams in the future. Training issues could be discovered. Review your time-line estimates based on current resources used. Share your good and bad experiences on the project. Come up with suggestion on how to improve the running of future projects. This session is not blame session. The goal is to learn some best practices and to not repeat any past mistakes in the future.
