1-2.1 Assigning Roles and Responsibilities

Because teams have different requirements, roles and responsibilities should be agreed upon when the team is formed. Functional roles need not necessarily correspond to a single individual, job title, or organization in the team. While a task may be assigned to a specific individual (e.g., CO, client, or item manager), responsibility for a task may also be given to a group of individuals capable of performing the work within the team.
