Describe Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. How does it relate to information technology projects? i20018704 https://padlet.com/i20018454/eacx5uhkn1zxg059/wish/2131943668 People's behaviors are governed or driven by a succession of needs, according to Maslow's hierarchy of needs. 

(1)Physiological requirements are at the bottom of the hierarchy. 

(2)Safety needs to be met once physiological demands are met. This deals with the safety of the individual, such as being secure in their bodywork, health, etc.

(3)After safety needs are met, social needs take precedence, and so on up the hierarchy. 

(4) Thereafter, self-esteem needs to be met which deals with respect, confidence, etc.

(5) At the peak of the pyramid is self-actualization which deals with creativity fulfillment etc.

The importance of the sequence of these demands in the pyramid, as well as their relative quantities, cannot be overstated. Each level of the hierarchy, according to Maslow, is a requirement for the levels above it.

For example, a person cannot contemplate self-actualization if fundamental security and safety demands have not been met.

The physiological, safety, social, and esteem needs at the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy are referred to as deficiency needs, whereas the highest level, self-actualization, is referred to as a growth need. Individuals can only act on growth requirements once they have met their deficiency needs. Problem-solving, life enjoyment, personal progress, and the ability to have peak experiences are all characteristics of self-actualized individuals.

Working on an information technology project, most people will probably have their basic physiological and safety needs met. However, if someone has an unexpected medical emergency or is laid off from job, physiological and safety concerns will take priority.

To encourage project team members, the project manager must first understand each individual's motivation, particularly in terms of social, esteem, and self-actualization or growth requirements. Some companies provide meetings and social activities for new employees to meet their social needs. Other project members may see these activities as an invasion of their personal time, which they would prefer spend with friends and family or working on a graduate degree.

The plan is a subset of the project management plan that enables projects to succeed by successfully managing diverse teams to fulfil tasks effectively and efficiently.  A staffing management plan can be produced in one of two ways - informal and broad or formal and detailed. Each staffing management strategy is customised to the unique requirements of each individual project. The information contained in stated personnel management plan is decided by the nature of the application and the scope of the project. Thus, developing a customised workforce management strategy for your organisation is critical to its overall performance in everyday operations.

1. Forming

In the team development forming stage is the first step where in team members get introduced to each other; get to know what the purpose of the project is and this is typically an orientation stage. Goal setting and explaining key responsibility area of each team member is a core part of forming. A good team leader guides and directs his team towards the team goals.

2. Storming

Storming phase in team development is one of the most critical stages where the team members get into conflict and competition due to their different individual personalities. Performance may take a dip here. Team members may do not share knowledge, fight for recognition and work individually on all works. Lack of collaboration is one main issue which rises up here. The team leader’s role here is to handle conflict management and explain why team has to respect each other ideas and work collaboratively

3. Norming

In this stage the interpersonal relation issues gets solved and unity beings to emerge. The team members begin to cooperate and concentrate on achieving the team goals. They give and take help and also appreciate the leader and socializing is the core word here

4. Performing

In this stage each team member being clear about the project, the expected outcome out of them, the projects budget, cost etc starts performing well. The team trust each other at work and believe that everyone is working for the organisations goal and appreciates each other’s works and hence performance would be at its peak

5. Adjourning

In this stage the team’s goal would have been achieved. Wrapping up and documentation would take place.
