Managing a project team requires deliberate team building efforts from the start. This includes having the team participate together in planning so they feel committed to the plans. It is also important to select team members that have the needed skills, will have their needs met through the project, and will fit with the team's temperament. Providing training to develop members' interpersonal skills can help minimize conflicts that often arise from personality clashes and lack of communication skills. Building an effective team is key to ensuring the project's success.
