Defining the Technical Environment  

The last few sections dealt with managing the people on the project. Now let’s examine managing the environment in which the work is conducted in.  Have you ever worked on a project where the work conditions were poor?  Did this affect the project team?   You know from your own experience that adverse working conditions can affect team morale and efficiency and the quality of the project deliverables.  As you might have guessed, it is the project manager’s responsibility to ensure the working environment will promote teamwork and the successful completion of the project.

The technical environment is the collection of physical space, hardware, software, netware, and equipment that is shared by the project team and used to support a project or a subproject.  The technical environment includes the following items:
