Project Teams

Abstract

One of the key responsibilities of the project manager is to manage team dynamics. In this chapter, we will review typical project team models in biopharma and the key components of a hub-and-spoke team model. We will also describe the typical roles in a project team, including executive sponsor, project leader, sub-team leaders, team members or functional area representatives, functional area heads, and technical experts. We will explore the roles and responsibilities of common project core team members. Finally, we will consider team culture, dynamics, and leadership and how the project manager can set an environment for a high-performing team.Abstract One of the key responsibilities of the project manager is to manage team dynamics.
