Project Team

A group of people who help the project manager by doing the project work so the project meets its goals.

Key Points

  • Carries out the project work and supports the project manager in meeting objectives.
  • May include internal staff, contractors, and suppliers; roles can be full-time or part-time.
  • Broader than the project management team, which focuses on leading and managing the project.
  • Team composition can change across phases as different skills are needed.

Example

On a project to build a new warehouse, the project team includes civil engineers, site supervisors, procurement staff, quality inspectors, schedulers, and external contractors. They perform the design, construction, purchasing, inspections, and scheduling work under the coordination of the project manager to deliver the facility on time and within budget.
