A theoretical model is suggested for designing information systems task teams based on a contingency approach using characteristics of the task, the environment and types of people as contingency variables. A fourth variable, systems design phase, is also considered for suggesting differences in the staffing and operations of task teams. The basic assumption is that staffing, ways of operating, ways of reaching decisions, and measures of task team effectiveness will vary during the systems development process.
