Project Design >> Forming multidisciplinary teams

g. Multiple supporting teams

Depending on project scope and representation from all key stakeholders, your core team might be quite large in number. You may choose to delegate day-to-day project management to a project executive:

• In this case, the relationship between the core team and its executive needs to be clearly articulated to ensure that all participants are comfortable with the decision-making process.

Your core team may also form a number of small working groups to focus on specific project tasks. Participation in discrete working groups may be attractive to some clinicians and consumers because:

• it is time-limited, or
  
  
• its tasks reflects a particular area of personal interest and/or expertise.

Hence, working groups create the opportunity to expand the number of people involved within the project.
