Chapter 6
Integrating the Project Manager, Business Analyst, Business Process Professional, and Information Technology Professional into the Project Landscape
In Chapter 3, The Complex Project Team, we discussed the need for generalists as well as specialists on the project team. That led to the definition of a multi-discipline position family that included project management (PM), business analysis (BA), information technology (IT), and business processes (BP). In this chapter I want to discuss ways that professionals who are skilled in one or more of these disciplines can be used most effectively on complex project teams (CPTs).
Much like the earlier chapters, this discussion will be future oriented. human resource management systems (HRMSs) are not sophisticated enough to support the strategy that you will need to implement to be successful with complex projects. From a reading of this chapter you will clearly understand what needs to be done to effectively staff a complex project. For all of you I suspect that an HRMS with the needed functionality will have to be developed.
