Define Team Roles and Responsibilities
Establish and maintain a team charter based on the integrated
team’s shared vision and overall team objectives.
Defined roles and responsibilities provide clear understanding of the
team members’ contributions, level of involvement, interfaces (with
team members and other teams or groups), and the degree of influence
or control each member has on the success and functioning of the
team. Allocation of roles and responsibilities should be based on each
member’s abilities, skills, and other commitments. Roles and
responsibilities include:
- Establish and maintain interfaces among integrated team members
- Determine how assignments are accepted
- Determine how resources and input are accessed
- Determine how work gets done
- Determine who checks and reviews work
- Determine how work is approved
- Determine how work is delivered and communicated
- Maintain interfaces with their functional area.
- Map the roles, responsibilities, and expertise of the team members
to the team tasks and expected deliverables. Ensure that assignments are made to integrate complementary knowledge and
skills.
- Define the working relationship and reporting structure for team
members. Team members may have the responsibility to report to both the team leader and
a functional organization and management chain.
