Frequently asked questions
Manage the departure of a project team member

What should the project manager look out for when a team member leaves?

Over and above the impact on deadlines, quality and the financial consequences for the project, the project manager must ensure that the departure of a member does not destabilize the project team (in its dynamics and operating methods) or the project's results and objectives.

If a team member leaves under difficult circumstances, do I need to communicate?

The departure of a team member is always a difficult experience for the other team members, and even more so when the departure takes place under difficult conditions. Team members must not be left in a state of expectation or doubt. In all cases, communicate around a departure.
