| A Role is a Method Content element that defines a set of related skills, competencies, and responsibilities. Roles are |
| used by Tasks to specify who performs them as well as define a set of Work Products they are responsible for. |
| </p> |
| <p class="node" align="left"> |
| Roles are typically realized by an individual, or a set of individuals, working together as a team. A project team |
| member typically fulfills many different roles. Note that <b>Roles are not individuals nor are they necessarily |
| equivalent to job titles;</b> instead, they describe how individuals should behave in the project and the |
| responsibilities of an individual. Individual members of the organization will wear different hats, or perform |
| different Roles. The mapping from individual to Role is performed by the project manager when planning and staffing the |
| project. |
| </p> |
| <p class="node" align="left"> |
| While most roles are realized by people within the organization, people outside of the development organization play an |
| important role: for example, that of the stakeholder of the project or product being developed. |
