>Hey folks,

>I have been asked (hopefully seriously) to look into putting together a website for a medium sized company that would handle virtually all interbusiness processes for a large number of healthcare network partners. Off the top of my head, I think this is a 5,000+ hour project.

>It's been a long time since I had to put together a team of people for this type of project. What I was looking for is some ideas on how you all would put together a project team for this. What skills, experiences, and the relationships. Thanks!

I will try and help you based on my experiences with developing Kelleronline.com. This project is going on 11 months. It should be wrapped up in 2 weeks. During the whole project, we have had 5 members on the team, but at one time we had 13 members on the team doing various jobs such as:

project manager - one person for whole project
technical writer - 1 person for 3 weeks
graphical ,user interface design - 2 people for 4 weeks
database admin, Network arch. - 1 person for 2.5 months
technical lead - 1 person for whole project
web dev/programmers - 3 people for whole project, 2 part time.
scalability testing - 1 person for 2 weeks
testing/debugging - 3 people for 1.5 months

The number of people on the team depends on the due date of the project and the scope of the project.

The amount of experience for each member ranged from 6 months to 6 years. You need to be sure you have at least one person who can act as a technical lead during development of the web site. This person should have experience developing a web site from start to finish. He/She can also act as a teacher and mentor to the less experienced developers on your team.
