Organizational Leadership: Leadership during Project Closure

Discuss the roles and responsibilities of functional managers, the project manager, and

the project sponsor relative to re-integrating project team members into the

organization when the project to which they have been assigned on a full-time basis

ends. In your discussion, identify a specific project and use examples related to that

project.

The responsibility of the functional manager throughout a project is to allocate

resources, financial aspects, and hiring or staffing the project team. One of the more

members are reassigned.
