PMP Reflection It is evident from the project team work that at every aspect of project development cycle, every member of the project has some viewpoints and perceptions. However, the important factor that is required is to ensure that every member of the team is given importance to their viewpoint, create a synergy in the team and try to ensure that there is sync among the team members. If such practices are not adapted by the organization, it might be very challenging in creating a synergy and developing robust systems. Also, focusing on improving the leadership in terms of addressing the cultural diversity is very important. In majority of the cases, the issue of diversity is being one of the intrinsic reason behind the challenges that are encountered by the teams. If rationale thinking and meticulous communication strategies are inculcated, handling people with diverse set of experience can be feasible. Based on the experience of being part of the team, it is imperative that certain skills like managing the conflicts and negotiation, visionary approach, adaptability to the conditions are among the key factors that are important for an organizational leaders. In terms of ICT trends, focusing on the emerging technologies, adapting them effectively and incorporating such practices in to the project environment is among the key factors that make significant importance to project environment.
