c. Roles and Responsibilities

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 in order 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 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
