of individuals as a team. It is a time of introduction and forming relationships and
understanding from the exchange of information.
- Requires cooperation between PMs and functional managers
- SMEs are not in daily contact with each other to share knowledge
- The person with decision-making power is not always clearly identified
- The balancing of resources among projects can lead to friction
- The project closeout tasks are often difficult
- The division of authority and responsibility is complex
The working PM's skills and passions are usually related to the functional area,
not project management; the working PM may lack project management
skills/training; the working PM may lack time to manage the project due to his or
her other job duties; people from other disciplines may not report to the working
PM, but the working PM is responsible for the work they perform on the project
