When we say that a project manager must manage project integration, what do we really mean?

The plan, communication, team, constraints, stakeholders, cost, and quality can result in a successful

project only when a project manager delliberately causes everything to work well together.

Project teams are often considered to be an outlying part of an organization, especially teams that are

outsourced as contracted resources. The project manager must consciously act to ensure that the

project team is considered a legitimate and respected part of the organization.

The deliverables that are required for the project must be tested thoroughly so that each of them works

properly on its own, they work properly with each other, and all of them satisfy the stakeholders.

Project team members are diverse, and they are not always inherently able to work with each other.

Therefore, a project manager must use various supervision and coaching tools to cause the team to want:

to work together as a high$-$performance team.
