The Project Team or Working Party

If the FPP Guide is to act as Project Manager it is worth considering who else should be involved as part of the project team. The Staff Development Manager (or person with responsibility for Staff Development) should be included, as should the IT/Network Manager. The Learning Resources Manager, ILT Manager (or person with responsibility for co-ordinating ILT), ILT Champion(s) and a supportive Curriculum Leader would make up a team with the required mix of skills and influence.

JISC infoNet's Process Review infoKit has further guidance about building teams. Colleges are also advised to review the findings of the JISC Roundtable Project at http://www.roundtable.ac.uk

The influence of the Project Sponsor, once their initial promotion and PR involvement gets the project moving, should be by inference and used as infrequently as possible. This ensures both the effect of any occasional 'hit' and keeps the project from irritating the Sponsor with the end result that they become disillusioned and less supportive.
