IntroductionProject Team is the group of people who work towards a common goal and share the responsibility for achieving positive results. Robinson & Robinson (1994) define a team as a group of people, but not all groups qualify as teams. Team members usually work under the project manager and this requires the involvement of different departments. Katzenbach and Smith (1994) define team as a small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals, and a common approach for which they hold each other accountable. The project manager's most important responsibility is to build an effective team. Project team acquisition is the process of obtaining the human resources needed to complete the project (PMBOK, 2013). However, managing the project team is the most difficult part of the project because people can be difficult to predict, their moral level can go up and down and the worst thing is that some may leave the project unplanned, which has a direct impact on the project objective. Thamhain (1998) describes effective teams as those that produce high-quality results and succeed despite many difficulties and cultural or philosophical differences. Problem Statement The project manager is the person who plans and schedules project activities and the day-to-day management of project execution. They play a vital role in every phase of the project life cycle. However, there is always the possibility of canceling or delaying the project in teamwork due to the dysfunctionality of the team and the team leader. The team leader has power over individual members of a team who report directly to the project manager who must adopt five important roles: initiator, model, negotiator,… half of the document… without considering each person's level of competence. comfort or willingness to be in a virtual environment and look for any behavior that might signal that a team worker is suffering from “disconnection.” • Use collaboration tools The project manager must ensure that team members are trained and comfortable using technologies. ConclusionProject team members have multiple loyalties and if the team is not cohesive, these divided loyalties can be detrimental to the success of the project. However, a variety of team building techniques can be undertaken to help make teams in work environments more cohesive and successful. Experienced and successful managers and leaders will continuously analyze the team; determine which of Tuckerman's stages the team is in, as well as the needs of individuals, so that effective team building techniques can be employed appropriately (Davey, Karen).
