Project Team Management

Start with acquiring a team

The Project Team Management topic brings together resources on acquiring, developing and managing a project team. To begin, open Acquire project team and look at how the map organizes the topic. The other maps on acquiring project teams include references to negotiation, preassignment, acquisition, multicriteria decision analysis and virtual teams.

As you study, note the terms you want to return to. The maps also mention a human resource management plan, enterprise environmental factors and organizational process assets. Use those branches to see what each resource includes rather than treating every map as an identical summary.

Move on to developing the team

The maps on developing a project team cover inputs such as project staff assignments, resource calendars and the human resource management plan. Their branches also include interpersonal skills, training, team-building activities, ground rules, colocation and recognition.

One development map introduces the Tuckman ladder and describes forming as the phase when the team meets and learns about the project. Compare that branch with the maps' coverage of training and team-building activities. This gives you a way to organize the ideas before using the flashcard deck to check what you remember.

Connect the maps and flashcards

Next, explore the maps on managing a project team. They include team performance assessments, an issue log, work performance reports and communication. Another map on personnel assessment mentions building trust and improving team communication.

The flashcard deck on HR management asks about project management systems, responsibility for improving team competencies, and roles and responsibilities. Work through its questions after studying the maps, then return to the relevant branches when you want to check an idea. There are no quizzes listed on this topic page.

Place the topic in the unit

Project Team Management is a section of the Human Resource Management unit in Business administration and management (incl. project management). The maps and flashcards let you connect team acquisition, development and management with the human resource management material represented here. Choose a branch to study, then follow it across the resources.
