Ask Maria: How can I fix a team that's broken?

A team in disarray is difficult to work in. Here are some ways to go about fixing it.
January 25, 2024

There’s been a lot of discord on my team recently. With so many things going wrong, I’m not sure how to turn the situation around. Can you help?

Hi Maria,

I’ve noticed several issues arise within and around my team recently. While the product we are working on is not that exciting, there are challenging stakeholders who are not actively responding to the team, and the requirement is poorly seen to. As a result, team morale and thoughput have taken a substantial hit. This has brought about an unhealthy team dynamic where our product manager has poached several dev team members to work on a deliverable in the hopes of winning over the stakeholders.
