4.4  Project team

The full team may not be brought together until the BCC has given an approval to seek EOI, although some resources will have been devoted to the project definition.

Figure 4.1 provides a typical project management structure, which includes the project manager and other specialist members of the team. Specialist knowledge required for the project, including financial, technical, operational, community relations, environmental, contractual and legal skills will vary with the type of project.

While some specialist roles may be found within the delivery agency and others may be seconded from other departments, additional external legal and other specialist skills will be required. The project manager is responsible, through the steering committee, to the CEO of the delivery agency for delivering all critical elements of the project.
