Project Management Roles & Responsibilities Template

The Project Management Roles and Responsibilities template outlines the support required for effectively managing a project. It details the roles and contributions of the project manager, the Project Management Office (PMO), and any methodology support roles that may exist.

This template not only defines the responsibilities associated with each role but also guides consideration of how these responsibilities should be addressed for the specific project. It ensures clarity in role allocation and accountability, facilitating better coordination and project support.

For each responsibility:

• Identify the specific actions that are required to support the project. Describe what someone in the role needs to do and the behaviours and actions they need to take to successfully fulfill the responsibility. Where a responsibility isn’t relevant for a particular project, mark that as such also.
• Define what success looks like in delivering on the responsibility. Think about the responsibility and the identified actions, and consider what that would look like when done well. Be specific about what makes the actions successful and what needs to occur that will most make a difference.
