### Overview A project team should be assembled based on the knowledge and skills required. The team may consist of a core of dedicated members associated with the flow of the project and its vision and scope along with a set of commitments from functional organizations to provide personnel with the appropriate skills for dedicated periods during the life of the project. Alternatively, a project may be big enough and is anticipated to last long enough to justify fully dedicated resources and its own organizational structure. # Entry Criteria Knowledge and Skills The defined specialist knowledge and skills required for the project. Project Schedule The schedule with approximate iterations, scope dependencies, and map of required skills against iterations. # Sub-Activities
1 | Form Core Team | Identify a core team who will lead the project from start to finish. The core team is responsible for the flow of the project; delivering a product that meets the product vision.
2 | Decide Whether the Project has its Own Organization | Will the project leverage functional teams or will it build its own organization? If it will have its own organization, then create an organization chart with a set of open positions for the required skills and knowledge.
3 | Solicit Resource Commitments | Optional If utilizing functional groups, solicit commitments for dedicated staffing to meet the needs of the project knowledge and skills.
4 | Publish Open Positions | Optional Advertise open positions on the project in a manner appropriate to the organization. Are you hiring internally or externally?
5 | Fill Open Positions | Optional As called for in the project plan, recruit staff for open positions. Continually assess ability to recruit people into open positions for potential risk.
# Exit Criteria
| A list of core project team members and an organization chart including any functional resources being assigned to work on the project.
