The 2010 PMBOK Cafe First session Third Workshop discussed the aspects of Team Building. The scenario is that a global project with team members from around the world have come to Japan to participate in some team building activities. The PMBOK Cafe Participants discuss the Japanese perspective on what a team is and how Teams should communicate between each other. Japanese metaphors of a/un, Takarabune, and Sugoroku were used to describe how Japanese people communicate. Very Interesting insights in to how Japanese people view communication on Global project Teams.

Takarabune Team~

Akiko Oguma, Shinsuke Hamada, Yuichi Kaneko

Japanese Project Managers discuss team building on a Global Project using the concepts of Takara Bune and Sugoroku. Takarabune is The ship of good fortune that sails with 7 different gods. The analogy is that global projects require different people to work together.


The process to get people to perform as a team is similar to the Sogoroku which is a kind of Japanese Traditional Board Game. The process involves working through natural conflict and understanding each others perspective to build a team.
