c. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The roles and responsibilities of team members and stakeholders must be clearly defined in any
project. Depending on the organizational structure, project team members may represent many
different groups/departments and act in the interest of different functional managers.
Additionally, team members may have varying degrees of authority and responsibility. When
listing roles and responsibilities the following should be included:
•
•
•
•
Role – description of the portion of the project for which the member is accountable
Authority – the level at which the member may make decisions, apply project resources,
or make approvals
Responsibility – the work a team member must perform to complete assigned work
activities
Competency – the skill(s) required to complete assigned project activities
The roles and responsibilities for the Software Upgrade Project are essential to project success.
All team members must clearly understand their roles and responsibilities to successfully
perform their portion of the project. For the Software Upgrade Project the following project
team roles and responsibilities have been established: Example:
Project Manager (PM), (1 position): responsible for the overall success of the Software
Upgrade Project. The PM must authorize and approve all project expenditures. The PM is also
responsible for approving that work activities meet established acceptability criteria and fall
within acceptable variances. The PM will be responsible for reporting project status in
accordance with the communications management plan. The PM will evaluate the performance
of all project team members and communicate their performance to functional managers. The
PM is also responsible for acquiring human resources for the project through coordination with
functional managers. The PM must possess the following skills: leadership/management,
budgeting, scheduling, and effective communication.
d. PROJECT ORGANIZATIONAL CHARTS
This section provides a graphic display of the project tasks and team members. The purpose of
this is to illustrate the responsibilities of team members as they relate to the project tasks. Tools
such as responsible, accountable, consult, inform (RACI) or responsibility assignment matrix
(RAM) may be used to aid in communicating roles and responsibilities for the project team.
Additionally, organizational or resource breakdown structures may be used to show how
responsibilities are assigned by the department or by type of resource respectively. It should be
noted that the level of detail may vary depending on project complexity.
e. STAFFING MANAGEMENT
This section contains information on several areas including when and how human resource
requirements will be acquired, the timeline for when resources are needed and may be released,
training for any resources with identified gaps in skills required, how performance reviews will
be performed, and the rewards and recognition system to be used. It is important to note that
depending on the scope of the project there may be other items included in staffing management
(government and/or regulatory compliance, organizational health and safety, etc). Example:
Staff Acquisition:
For the Software Upgrade Project, the project staff will consist entirely of internal resources.
There will be no outsourcing/contracting performed within the scope of this project. The Project
Manager will negotiate with functional and department managers in order to identify and assign
resources in accordance with the project organizational structure. All resources must be
approved by the appropriate functional/department manager before the resource may begin any
project work. The project team will not be co-located for this project and all resources will
remain in their current workspace
