04 Task Performance 1

Read the scenario and answer the given question.

Dennis Francisco is an IS project manager facing a difficult situation. Dennis works for Premium Trust
Bank, which has recently acquired First National Bank. Before the acquisition, Premium Trust Bank and
First National Bank were bitter rivals, fiercely competing for market share in the region. Following the
bitter takeover, numerous staff were laid off in many banking areas, including IS. However, key
individuals were retained from both bank’s IS areas and assigned to a new consolidated IS department.
Dennis has been made project manager for the first significant IS project since the takeover, and he
faces the task of integrating staffers from both banks on his team. The project they are undertaking will
be highly visible within the organization, and the time frame for the project is somewhat demanding.
Dennis believes that the team can meet the project goals successfully, but success will require that the
team become cohesive quickly and that potential conflicts be avoided. What strategies should Dennis
implement to help ensure a successfully functioning team?
