Project Human Resource Management includes the processes that organize, manage, and lead the project
team. The project team is comprised of the people with assigned roles and responsibilities for completing the
project. Project team members may have varied skill sets, may be assigned full or part-time, and may be added or
removed from the team as the project progresses. Project team members may also be referred to as the project’s
staff. Although specific roles and responsibilities for the project team members are assigned, the involvement of
all team members in project planning and decision making is beneficial. Participation of team members during
planning adds their expertise to the process and strengthens their commitment to the project. 9

Figure 9-1 provides an overview of the Project Human Resource Management processes, which are as follows:
