I am in a unique environment wherein I am working as the sole Project Manager responsible for web and application development being done by subcontractors. These subcontractors were working independently of any traditional project management principles (no documentation, managing schedule very loosely) and cost is not a variable for which I have any control over. However, they are not being very forthcoming to adapting to my ideas and have, on several occasions, completely disregarded them. Presenting this to my leadership has been futile, as our teaming agreement does not necessitate that they do anything I ask them to do and my ideas are simply that, ideas. Any thoughts as to how I can get the team to appreciate my many years of experience and hard work and work with me to make this a more well-managed project team?
