Barbara and Steve spent the entire month of February putting together the schedule and plans for the CSS. Even though Barbara was the project manager, she and Steve worked together as peers. As a team, they could brainstorm and double-check each other’s work. They had worked together before and had an excellent relationship—one based on mutual respect and trust. They could be candid and knew how to work through disagreements as well as how to come to consensus on important issues. Barbara also knew that the work Steve produced was always well thought out and very professionally done. He was a skilled systems analyst and would help.
