Key Concept: Role
The most central concept in the
Process is that of a role. A role defines the behavior and
responsibilities of an individual, or a set of individuals working together as a
team, within the context of a software engineering organization. The Roles Overview
provides additional information on roles.
The organization of roles and their
activities in the treebrowser
Note that roles are not individuals; instead,
they describe how individuals should behave in the business and the
responsibilities of an individual. Individual members of the software
development organization will wear different hats, or perform different
roles. The mapping from individual to role, performed by the project manager
when planning and staffing the project (see Activity:
Acquire Staff), allows different individuals to act as several different
roles, and for a role to be played by several individuals.
