User roles in the toolkit

These role descriptions provide a general description of each role, together with specific responsibilities and suggested skills/attributes. You should use these role descriptions as a quick check for your project; they are also suitable as a starting point in setting your own organisational standards, to be adapted as required.

The grouping of key roles, and the relationship between the roles, is fundamental to successful delivery. Where roles are combined (especially appropriate for smaller/less complex projects) it is important to ensure that delegations and reporting arrangements are understood by all involved.
