How many people are there in your project management team? What is the min. and max number in your opinion and what would be their roles? I know it has to do with the size of the project, however, some project manager may have a kind of unwritten standard for this issue. Saving Changes...
You are right Abolfazi, it does depend on the size of the team. Perhaps an unwritten rule might be just enough project team members to effectively manage the project, reduce waste while optimizing human resource costs for the team.

First of all the important thing is to understand what does mean "project management team". To determine the size is the same than into any other type of things: related activities and efforts will determine the number of people assigned to them to get the expected duration.

Project management team usually refers to the people who works on project under the direct supervision of project manager, e.g., scheduler, cost/finance analyst. They formally manage the projects and its PM processes.

Hi, it also depends on how is the whole project structured and if you work with vendors who supply significant number of project team members. You should have there project sponsor, key stakeholders who are typically executive managers in your company but not all of them, only few really critical ones. Their role is to be informed about the project, confirm the direction of the project, inform the project manager about upcoming important changes and priorities. If you have significant vendors than their representative can be in the management team as well.
Another member of project management team is project manager indeed and then it depends if the project has sub teams or work streams in the project organization structure, how large is the team itself and what’s overall project complexity. We sometimes included the work stream leaders and sometimes not, really depends on how complex their streams were. Typical size of project management team was then about 5 - 10 people.
