How the Roles & Responsibilities Workshop Works
A step-by-step breakdown of the workshop process
1Identify roles
List all key roles needed to fulfil the project and generate a template for each role.
2Clarify role scope
A role may only cover part of someone’s job. One person may also take on more than one role within the project.
3Separate responsibilities
Distinguish between prime responsibilities and secondary tasks. This sets expectations appropriately.
4Define interfaces
In the Interface column, note individuals or groups the role-holder must work with to discharge their responsibilities. Include stakeholders up and down the chain, as well as colleagues with interdependent roles.
