time, which could be moved to minimize the risks to the project and use a 
higher employment rate in the start, which will lead to a less likely risk for 
project delay.
5.8 Relation Between Project Parties
Any large or small project depends on human resources, which are the 
main reasons for the success of any project or failure. In every phase 
of the project, there are teams that work either in parallel or in series. 
Different teams can work at the same time, teams can receive work 
from another team, and every team has its own organization and may 
have specific goals. The project manager is responsible for coordinat-
ing the relationships between all task forces and agencies that operate 
in the project.
The below figure shows the results of no relationships between the teams 
in the project. Assume you want to build a hammock in your backyard. 
This project is done in a number of stages, as shown in the figure, but in 
that case there is no connection or correlation between the teams working 
on the project.
In the stage of initial studies, the FEED engineering action team is in 
charge of studies. The initial proposal of the idea and the design team 
change it by hand. Then, the contractor will modify the idea once again 
according to its requirements or his or her point of view and will finally 
deliver the product to you.
