Overview
Design the Project Management Team Job Description(s) that reflects all project interests (stakeholders) including user, supplier and business interests.
Ensure that the relevant members have the power to make decisions, the time to commit to the project and the skills to carry out their jobs. Ensure that all the PRINCE2 management Roles are fulfilled. Be sure to consider any assurance roles that the Project Management Team will be taking on, and that they match that of Programme Assurance.

Tips
- This and SU3 Appointing a Project Management Team could, in some cases, be one process but planning (designing) the Project Management Team first is a good idea!
- Some roles can be shared or combined, consider this when assessing the time and effort required for each role.
- Try to avoid having more than six representatives on a Project Board - it is a decision making body after all, not a discussion group.
- In the case of too many people wanting to have a presence on the board consider creating a separate user group that appoints one Project Board spokesperson to represent them.
- Avoid having the Project Board members delegating their roles as this can lead to reduced authority.
Notes
- Produce Job Description(s)
- Consider the project
- Size
