what is your biggest challange in managing team?

Thank you very much this is something new for me. :)

In all the circumstances where I had to do with training the employees this was always done off-project. I mean you were not allowed to put in your timesheet the time spent in training as being work done for the project. It was not possible to have training the team members as a task in the project. Training the users of the delivered product by the project team members yes. this was possible.

I thought training comes from the functional department's budget so that the employees that are trained can handle work on different projects that require the same skills.

Thanks again.

Adrian, Thank you for your comment it is possible that few of the preassigned members by the functional manager be trained but as PM we also need to identify the required training for the team to ensure smooth transition so many times you discover that few training sessions are needed to enhance the ability of the team for example if you have a schedule to terminate fibre optic cables and even the team knows but they have not done such project for long time so it doesn't hurt to arrange for one day session to remind the team on how properly should be done this will save you of rework and maintain delivery quality as all connection of your SCADA system depends on fibre optics reliable connections.
