ABSTRACT

Although the project manager is critical to its success, when planning a project, the answer to the question of “who” involves more than the leader. The second component is the team, specifically, those individuals selected as team members. Chapter 5 addressed some of the issues involved in team selection when it described the formation of the team for the Initiation/Definition phase. While most of these still apply, there are additional considerations for the working team, the one charged with implementation of the project. Not only are there more people involved during execution, but they have different responsibilities, and that raises new concerns.
