First of all, there are only 5 phases in project management and they are generic to all projects. These phases are:

- Initiating
- Planning
- Executing
- Monitoring and controlling
- Closing

The above phases are not exclusive to IT projects - in fact, these phases adapt much better to construction projects (due to their predictability and their inherent waterfall nature) than to IT projects.

George is the project manager on a high priority project within his company that is just beginning to get under way. George is negotiating with another project manager, Camille, to obtain the best-qualified team member for each project manager’s project team. A team member can only be assigned to one of the two teams. What are the criteria that both project managers should use in deciding who should be on each one of the teams? State and then explain the criteria. Rank the criteria on the basis of their order of importance. Explain and justify this decision.
