Gathering together a project team is not the easiest job in the world! Some project managers are able to pick their own teams (lucky you!); others get a team assigned to them (OK – so here you can say, “Hey…not my fault – I didn’t choose the team members!”).
Sometimes a project is ready to kick off and the right people are just not available to work on the project. Other times the project is something completely different than what the organization has done previously and you aren’t sure who the right people are for the project.
Some good resources on project teams include:
The Team Handbook Third Edition (Authors: Scholtes, Joiner, Streibel)
Managing the Project Team (Author: Verma)
The Project Management Memory Jogger: A Pocket Guide for Project Teams (Authors: Martin, Tate)
