what is project team

A project team is a group of individuals who work together towards a common goal and share responsibility for specific outcomes of their organizations.

The project team usually consists of a variety of members often working under the direction of a project manager or of a senior member of the organization. Project teams can be formulated in a variety of ways and can include roles such as project manager, subject matter experts, business analysts, and other stakeholders. The project team is responsible for contributing to the overall project objectives and specific team deliverables, by contributing to the successful completion of the project.
