Project Management Plan
Version 2.0
3.4 Roles and Responsibilities
This section defines the roles and responsibilities for staff involved with the Professional
Development for Technical Personnel Project. The Responsibility Assignment Matrix
(RAM) is a valuable communication tool that delineates roles, responsibilities, and
expectations with regards to project products and deliverables. Maintained in an MS
Excel spreadsheet by the Project Managers or their designee, it contains the
organization entities (people) from the Project Organization Chart as well as the specific
elements (project products and deliverables) identified by the team and documented in
the Work Breakdown Structure.
Based on the role each individual plays in the project, an appropriate value is inserted
in the spreadsheet at the junction of a project deliverable with the organization. RAM
values include:
S = for supporting tasks/role – folks who actually perform the work
P = for primary responsibility to ensure assigned work is completed
A = for approval/signoff of work and deliverables
R = for reviewers of deliverables (may be courtesy review only)
O = for oversight
Refer to Appendix D – Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) for further information.
Appendix D contains two RAM matrices. The first depicts the responsibilities of the
roles in this ITMA class and project to the deliverables defined for this project. The
second depicts the responsibilities of individuals in this ITMA class to the roles.
Class Managers approval will be based upon majority rule. Two of the three Class
Managers will constitute approval.
Non-response is considered approval by the
reviewers. All deliverables disseminated for review and approval will contain a deadline
date.
If the date arrives and no comments are received, the deliverable will be
approved as is.
The table on the next pages summarizes the responsibilities of each role in the ITMA
XII Class and the project.
