- [Voiceover] It takes people to perform the work
required for a project.
Although the folks on your project team
probably have line managers back in their departments,
you, as project manager, also manage these people
and their roles on your project.
During planning, you identify the skills and roles you need
to perform the project work.
With those identified,
you can build a staffing plan for your project.
The next step is to acquire the people you need.
They may come from within your organization
or from outside sources.
You've probably been part of a team before,
so you know that teams take time
to reach their full potential.
Once people are onboard,
you have to help the individuals assigned to your project
work together and become a team.
As work progresses, you manage the team.
You track people's performance,
provide feedback to help them improve,
resolve issues, and manage conflicts.
Those are the tasks you perform
to acquire and manage your projects team
to make sure they work as effectively as possible.
