Responsibility Grid
(1). A project manager’s list of stuff he’s delegating and the poor saps he’s delegating it to. Somehow, he doesn’t ever seem to do anything … ?
“Okay, guys … so, I worked up a responsibility grid (thanks, Dave, for putting that together!) … Cheryl, you’ll be in charge of T & Es … Henry, you take committee meeting minutes … Frank, you’ll be dealing with the scanning remediation … and, Jim, you’ve got coffee orders. Thanks, everyone!”
Pod
(1). A giant picnic table in the hallway with computer screens where about fifteen people get to enjoy listening to every, stinking word the guys on either side of him are saying all day long.
“So, this is the pod where your screen will be. Oh, and this is Joe, Mike, Kimmie, Sarah and George. One word of advice – I wouldn’t go talking to your doctor or girlfriend or anything here. George is a serial tweeter. Welcome aboard!”
