GTD for Teams - How do you get started?
Merlin Also | Jan 31 2006
One of the most common questions I get -- an email that I receive probably three times each week -- has to do with using Getting Things Done in the context of an office or a team. Specifically, how do you non-obnoxiously improve the habits and culture of a team that isn't drinking the GTD Kool-Aid? Anyone have success stories about improving team communication and workflow after getting into GTD? How do you deal with colleagues' bad work habits? WHere do you meet resistance and how do you get past it? 4 Comments

Emory's response reminded me of an article done by Joel Spolsky : http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000332.html It's a great article, and basically says that instead of trying to convert the team to use GTD, or your bugs database, just tell them where their input goes. If you are a hardcore inbox person like myself, instruct others to put anything that they need taken care of in your inbox. Get them to conform to the part of the system that they need to accomplish to keep your system running smoother. Eventually someone else will start to use an inbox as well. The key is to get people to adopt slowly by leading with example. » POSTED IN:
