In this course, you'll continue developing your project management skills by planning your project team, assembling the team, developing the team, and handling conflicts within the team. You'll also plan for project procurements, obtain responses from vendors, and manage vendors. Then, you'll prepare for project execution, manage project changes, and monitor the project scope.

So far, you have planned for time, cost, risk, and quality. Planning for the personnel to perform the work is the next big step and should not be overlooked. Choosing the right set of people with the right skills and attributes is vital for project success in both Predictive and Adaptive projects. In this lesson, you will plan, assemble, develop, and manage the team for your project.
