Prominent management scholar Amy Edmondson states that organizations are using teams to get more complex work done, deliver better organizational performance and create a more engaging and satisfying work environment. Projects rely on effective teamwork to deliver results. However, research in projects has been mostly focused on studying teams within a project and on differentiating team development in projects or ‘temporary organizations’ from their development in functional teams or ‘permanent organizations’. This chapter discusses the development of the role of teams in functional and project organizations and the way in which they will have to work together in organizational project management.
