How to handle these two scenarios at work?
Discussion
Hi
Two scenarios at work. 1) I see very often. 2) a one off. I'd like to manage both correctly, being assertive and standing my ground (i.e. with 1). Any suggestions?
1) Constant interruptions at my desk to do a "small" task i..e give permissions to an IT system or a license to an application, which should follow procedures and to ensure no adverse effects.
2) Project Managers procuring professional services time from an IT Vendor for an implementaton of a product without consulting internal technical expertise. The booked time is then grossly underestimated. I am generally very reliable and good at managing expectations, in this scenario i've highlighted this risk a week before the arrangement and during the arrangement too, but I'd rather not get embroiled in an unorganised mess.
Thanks!
