WHO IS IN A PROJECT TEAM ?

TYPICAL PROJECT ORGANIZATION


“identify a novel mechanism and the world will beat a path to your door
with a clinical application.”
This worked well for antibiotics and first generation of drug receptors but do not forget that the
central action of propranolol in the treatment of hypertension was not expected—it was being
developed for the treatment of angina through a peripheral effect on cardiac receptors. As the
clinical targets have become more elusive and the regulatory and technical barriers
have increased, so have the pressures on the project team to perform.

In truth, essential though they are, bar charts, risk registers, and financial spreadsheets do not
make for project management in themselves;

It has got far more to do with the soft side of managing people and there is no doubt that the
most successful project managers have an uncanny knack of drawing people to them and
persuading them to devote their efforts to the common purpose.- called THE PROJECT TEAM
