A project team is a group of people working together for a common
goal. It shares responsibility and resources to achieve its collective mission:
problem solving and decision making are natural activities of a
project team. While projects have quite specific goals or expectations,
it is up to the team to find out how the problems should be solved.
Project teams thus typically enjoy a considerable amount of autonomy
within the limits set. (cf. Lundin and Söderholm, 1995; Lindkvist and
Söderlund, 2002)
