Chapter 3: Identify The Project Leaders


Introduction

Catching your breath, you have developed the project concept and have an understanding of the relationship between the international project and other work. You also have identified a number of potential and likely issues that will have to be faced in the project. Management has given a tentative approval to find a project leader, identify team members, structure the project, and develop the plan.

The first action now is to define the management structure for the project. How the project will be organized comes later. Here you will be concerned with the number, type, and roles of project leaders for the work. The second action is then to move ahead to determine who the project leaders should be. Look how different this is than the standard project. In a standard project, you just chose the project leader and got started. It is not that simple. In addition to dealing with coordination across multiple locations or business units, you have to be concerned with politics. If you pick the wrong people, you may cripple the project from the start.
