    Selection of the members of the project team is extremely important in several ways. Obviously you desire the project team to be composed of people a high level technical knowledge/ skills from all functional areas that will support the program (engineering, marketing, etc.), but also it is important and desirable that people are compatible with each other and collaborate and work together in harmony. Creating an environment in which team members respect each other and build upon each other experience is a must for a successful project and the PM is the enabler to make this happen. In a true well-integrated unified team there is no place for behind the scene drama where team members are not performing due to preference or lack of motivation. PM should be skilled in the art of understanding the team’s strengths and weaknesses and its limitations. Selection of the right team members will definitely have an impact on how smooth the project will run and succeed or die.
