Answer: First it is important to note that there can be two kinds of personnel involved in a project:
- people regularly involved in all project's activities (e.g., project manager, information security expert, etc.)
- people involved in specific project's activities (document review and risk identification for specific departments/process, etc.)

Considering that, for a project involving 600 people, the project team would vary from 4 to 6 people, and the extra people related to specific project's activities will depend on the organizational structure (e.g., one or two by department/process).

Please note that people involved in specific project's activities will be only occasionally needed on the project, while project members will be probably involved at least once a week.
