Acquiring the Project Team

The Acquire Project Team process involves attaining and assigning human resources to the project. Project staff may come from inside the company or from outside the company in the form of full-time employees hired specifically for the project or as contract help. In any case, it's your job as the project manager to ensure that resources arc available and skilled in the project activities they're assigned to. However, in practice you may find that you don't always have control over the selection of team members. Someone else, the big boss for example, may hand-pick the folks they want working on the project and it's up to you to assess their skills and decide where they best fit on the project.
The Acquire Project Team process inputs arc as follows: enterprise environmental factors, organizational process assets, roles and responsibilities, project organization charts, and staffing management plan.
Some project activities may require special skills or knowledge in order to be completed. The enterprise environmental factors input involves taking this information into account as well as considering personal interests, characteristics, and availability of potential team members before making assignments. For example, consider the previous experience of the staff member.
