According to the PMBOK® Guide and the Standard for Project Management, the Develop Team process (formerly referred to as Develop Project Team) is the process of improving competencies, team member interaction, and the overall team environment to enhance project performance.
An essential and often overlooked output of this process is Enterprise Environmental Factors (EEF) updates. As the team develops, their improved skills, morale, and performance become part of the organization ' s human capital. According to PMI standards, these updates include:
Employee capability and skill levels: Updates to the organization ' s records regarding the improved competencies of individual team members.
Personnel administration: Updating training records and performance assessments based on the development activities conducted during the project.
The other options are incorrect based on their classification in the PMI framework:
Organizational process assets (OPA): While OPAs can be an output (e.g., updates to training templates or lessons learned), EEF updates are the specific output associated with the change in personnel capabilities resulting from team development.
Project staff assignments: This is an input to the Develop Team process. It is the output of the Acquire Resources process, identifying the people who are on the team and need to be developed.
Organizational charts and position descriptions: These are outputs of the Plan Resource Management process. They serve as the blueprint for how the team is structured, rather than the result of developing the team ' s skills.
As per the PMI Lexicon of Project Management Terms, the Develop Team process is vital for creating a high-performance culture, and the resulting increase in organizational " human capital " is formally recorded as an update to Enterprise Environmental Factors.
