This report is a literature study that focuses on the characteristics of successful project teams in the research and development environment. Project teams are becoming an increasingly important factor in business. Traditional quantitative project management tools no longer give project teams a competitive edge - additional qualitative tools are required, following a systems approach. A paradigm shift away from the traditional triangle of budget, brief and time towards a stronger focus on people issues is proposed. As people do not behave in a linear way, as required for quantitative tools, new methods and tools are required for project team success.
