Shirley was critical to
the success experienced by the functional team. Her experience and skills in
PM helped the team to get and stay on track. She helped us with problem
solving, defining our requirements and development of test cases. Because of
her system background, she knew exactly what had to be accomplished and the
order/timeframe that it should be accomplished in.
-System Deployment Project Leader
Shirley's system experience
helped the team understand issues outside most of our expertise.... Her
planning skills help us develop a timetable for implementation and project
plan. Her facilitator skills help to draw team members out and encouraged
the team to take responsibility for the project.

assemble a Project Team of people that have something to contribute to the
overall project. The Project Manager may already have a team assigned

have the team participate in designing the project schedule. Alternatively,
the team may not exist until implementation, after the project has approval
and a preliminary plan is established.

On Twitter, @amirfendi said the project team post was "One of the best I
ever read about project management."
