Building an Effective Engineering Organization

Abstract

xii Projects in the 21st Century are becoming larger and more complex. This means that a single project manager is not usually able to deliver them successfully independently, and therefore the need for teams and how to form high performing teams rapidly through an understanding team dynamics and their role in the team becomes far more important. This combined with the understanding technical capability alone is not sufficient to ensure project success requires project managers to understand both their own and their teams behavioral preferences.
