I think a good team consists of:

A sponsor. At the end of the day, you need to submit your project. The project sponsor is the person that reviews the results of your project and checks and makes sure that the requirements are fulfilled.

Knowledgeable project manager who is really on top of everyone’s duties. He or she must be able to provide the leadership necessary to get the project done on time as well as efficiently. One of the main goals is to create a charter that aligns the goals of the project to the strategic goals of the business. Also, they must foresee any issues and try to mitigate any obstacles.

Subject Matter Expert. This is the person that is very knowledgeable in whatever the area that the project is concerned with. This person is typically the person that all administrative level individuals go to should they need assistance with their tasks.

Dedicated staff. These are the people that work downstream on the task at hand. They do the technical tasks that drive the project forward. This is the main driving force in the project. Without the proper personnel and staff, the project will not move forward.
