The successful development, implementation, and operation of systems require close coordination and partnership between all the project team members. Teamwork is essential for delivery of a quality system on time and within budget. While the actual structure of project teams will vary from one project to another, all projects require, at a minimum, an Executive Sponsor. The Executive Sponsor identifies the priorities and the business needs while the Business Project Manager articulates those requirements in detail. The Development Manager determines how best to employ technology, while the Project Manager provides project oversight and guidance. These and the other primary project team roles that will guide the project. Larger projects will necessitate more complex project team structures. It is up to the project team members themselves to determine how best to organize the team for any particular project. Typical project team roles and responsibilities are described in more detail below. Note, however, that not every project will require a team with all these positions filled and in some instances, one person may fill more than one role on a project team. In practice, the structure of the project team generally changes over the course of a project as the needs of the project evolve and become more clearly defined.
