Since projects are conducted over a finite period of time,
the project team is normally only formed for the period
of the project and then dispersed afteward to other parts
of the organisation or to other projects. Team development
is therefore a very important part of ensuring that the
project proceeds well. Team development initially involves forming the
team but it then involves maintaining the needs of the
team throughout the project. Project management relies very heavily for
success on the people involved, which means that the project
manager must devote a significant amount of time to team
development.
