Well said, Xinteng.
I agree with you that as a new stuff in the company, to be a project manager need to take more efforts to persuade team members to coordinate under his lead. It is a challenge which can lead to the failure of projects if Jim can not gain enough support from his team.

Hi binju,
You mentioned a good point of the coordination. Coordination with the work procedures, goals and objectives would be very important in a group work, which should be clearly defined in the initial meetings, record properly in the minutes, and project workbook to ensure subsequent activities work effectively. -

The loss of competence is the one I didn’t realize when I answered the question either. Even though the outsourcing may lead to the loss of competence of the outsourcing work in the company, the company may save much time and effort to focus on other works.

I agree with you.
Outsourcing will result in the loss of controls. The outsourcing providers can from a different state even a different country.
