Project Team

A group of people who help the project manager by doing the project work so the project meets its goals.

Key Points

  • Carries out the project work and supports the project manager in meeting objectives.
  • May include internal staff, contractors, and suppliers; roles can be full-time or part-time.
  • Broader than the project management team, which focuses on leading and managing the project.
  • Team composition can change across phases as different skills are needed.

Example

On a project to build a new warehouse, the project team includes civil engineers, site supervisors, procurement staff, quality inspectors, schedulers, and external contractors. They perform the design, construction, purchasing, inspections, and scheduling work under the coordination of the project manager to deliver the facility on time and within budget.

ICS/OT Cybersecurity Fundamentals — Security Built for Industrial Systems

Industrial control systems cannot be secured like ordinary IT. A forced reboot, aggressive scan, or incompatible patch can interrupt production and create real safety consequences. Effective OT security begins with understanding the systems, constraints, and risks unique to industrial environments.

This course gives IT professionals, engineers, operators, and security practitioners a practical foundation in ICS threats, zone and conduit design, risk assessment, passive asset visibility, and vendor evaluation. You will learn how IEC 62443, NIST CSF, and MITRE ATT&CK for ICS apply where availability and safety come first.

Eight reconstructed incidents—including Stuxnet, Triton, Ukraine 2015, Colonial Pipeline, and PIPEDREAM—show how attackers move through OT environments, what they target, and which defenses could have changed the outcome.

Watch the course preview, then build the vocabulary, frameworks, and judgment needed to take credible first steps in ICS/OT cybersecurity.
