In recent years, the cluster motion has become more active in Ukraine. The setting of research tasks, their relevance and pragmatism are due, first of all, to the perception of the cluster community as an environment for making optimal decisions in uncertainty conditions and producing innovations necessary for the vital activity of society and the economy. Secondly, the vision of cluster formations as specific organizational forms, the development of which is possible only if a coordinated and highly motivated team with common values is formed. The activity of the Ukrainian Cluster Alliance, which is currently the largest and most authoritative cluster community, was studied. It is substantiated that the formed management structure of the cluster community, the defined its mission and goals, the distribution of powers and the adopted ethical rules are able to ensure a trust between participants. At the same time, the formation of a project management system in cluster activities should be supported by appropriate team building measures. The reasons for the decrease of team building effectiveness and the factors that should be the basis of this process are summarized. The main stages of team building in project teams are structured, which will allow successful implementation of project management within the cluster community. The further direction of scientific and practical work is defined as the development of personnel and management potential of cluster formations, in particular through the development of a model for training cluster leaders which will be able to be an effective team leaders.
