Explanation:
Manage Project Team
Manage Project Team involves tracking team member performance, providing feedback, resolving issues, and coordinating changes to enhance project performance. The project management team observes team behavior, manages conflict, resolves issues, and appraises team member performance. As a result of managing the project team, the staffing management plan is updated, change requests are submitted, issues are resolved, input is given to organizational performance appraisals, and lessons learned are added to the organization’s database.

Management of the project team is complicated when team members are accountable to both a functional manager and the project manager within a matrix organization (Section 2.3.3). Effective management of this dual reporting relationship is often a critical success factor for the project, and is generally the responsibility of the project manager.
