INTRODUCTION • Successful project management, regardless of the organizational structure, is only as good as the individuals and leaders who are managing the key functions. Project management is not a one person operation; it requires a group of individuals dedicated to the achievements of a specific goal. Project management includes: • A project manager • An assistant project manager • A project (home) office • A project team

Effective program management is directly related to proficiency in these ten skills: • Team Building Building the program team is one of the prime responsibilities of the program manager. Team building involves a whole spectrum of management skills required to identify, commit and integrate the various task groups from the traditional functional organization into a single program management system. • Leadership A prerequisite for program success is the program manager’s ability to lead the team within a relatively unstructured environment. • Conflict Resolution Conflict is fundamental to complex task management. Understanding the determinants of conflict is important to the program manager’s ability to deal with conflict effectively.

The program manager must be experienced in planning, staffing, budgeting, scheduling and other control techniques • Management support The program manager is surrounded by a myriad of organizations that either support him or control his activities. • Resource allocation A program organization has many bosses. Functional lines often shield support organizations from direct financial control by the project office
