I want to know some examples of how the project managers are impacted by cultural issues in their countries to perform their Project Management practices and to define the Project Management plan. I have friend living in arabic countries and he has shared some cultural issues to manage his projects as communication standards and planning. When I heard his experience I reflected about mine.
1. I Work for a project with an Indian Team and besides we were in the same project we worked a lot in cultural issues between colombian and Indian to align some elements about project management. For instance we had an important job about communications and meetings because our colombian team was less formal for them and our indian team required an email from their bosses to made something different. Only one sample of multiple alignmed that both PM had to work on.
2. In a project with a global firm I was not able to scalate to any of their directives besides in my company we are very free to scalate or communicate whatever is the job title.
3. In a project with a different LATAM company I had issues because making outdoor activies with the project team. I remember I planned a kricket game but only went the colombian and Indian because the other LATAM countries involved did not get permission for outdoor activities in a different office time.
these are are some examples of issues. I want to hear if you have some examples of issues that change the way we use some PM practices. Saving Changes...
