Team Building — Team Roles and Responsibilities
Information on Team Roles and Responsibilities
Team Roles and Responsibilities is an element of the
high-performance team charter.
Team Roles and Responsibilities are a summary
of the team’s main activities and what the team is
intended to do, and describe the various functions the team
plays in the organisation. Roles and responsibilities should be consistent
with the team’s mission and its goals. Roles and responsibilities
are further defined by goals and performance measures, and by
business process.
Review and codification of Roles and Responsibilities are useful
for all teams and essential for new project teams. Teams
usually find this task fairly easy. Roles and Responsibilities are
generally summed up by activities: what the team does on
a day-to-day basis. A team brainstorming session can easily produce
dozens of activities, if not more. The hard part comes
when the team has to determine which are "core" or
essential and which are less important, or prioritise their daily
work. People seem to take it personally when the work
they are doing is assessed as having less value or
importance than work others in the team are doing.
