Project Team Organization (#13 in the Hut Project Management Handbook)
By Wouter Baars
Within a project, the team must be managed. In the narrowest sense, team management involves determining who will do what from the list of activities. In broader terms, it also involves all of the soft skills (e.g. motivational techniques, communication skills, leadership styles) that are needed to achieve a goal with a group of people. Regardless of their importance, these soft skills exceed the scope of this handbook.
Organization in project plans:
- Assemble the team.
- Assign authority.
- Assign tasks to team members.
- Make agreements concerning the availability of people with other (project) managers and higher management.
Organization in progress monitoring:
- Direct the team.
- Monitor human aspects (soft skills).
- Mediate between the parties who are involved in the project.
