PROJECT SUCCESS AND PROJECT TEAM INDIVIDUALS
PROJECT SUCCESS AND PROJECT TEAM INDIVIDUALS

Summary/Abstract: Projects fail, and project managers are held responsible for these failures. This conceptual paper contends the cause of the success or failure of a project rests with the individuals who, in theory, comprise the project team. Research into project success or failure assumes a project team exists. This assumption deflects the need to look at the individuals who make up the team on which project managers depend for success. The lack of focus on these individuals undermines a project manager’s need and desire of a cohesive team to perform the work for a project. This study exposes the gap in the project management literature about the impact on the success of a project of the individuals who comprise the project team. A series of questions give direction for future research on this topic.
