4.1.4 Notes on the Presentation in the V-Modell Reference
A role is a definition with capabilities and knowledge which is independent of the organization and which is assigned responsibilities and authorizations. Each role includes a capabilitiy profile which can be used for selecting suitable project staff members. If particular framework conditions must be observed when the role is staffed, these are indicated under the headline "Appointment".
The above-mentioned descriptions are a general list. The subjects valid for a specific project must be selected from this list. The following role and function designations refer equally to members of both genders.
Roles, which either have the participation "responsible" or "cooperating", will be assigned to each product.
Participation of Role "Responsible":
- assuming the responsibillity for creating the product with the planned quality, at the planned date and with the planned budget,
- delivering the created/changed product to CM,
- reporting the start and the end of the activity/sub-activity of the product/subject to be created/changed to the ยปCM Manager,
- coordinating the participating roles.
Participation of Role "Cooperating"
- participating in the creation of products/subjects,
- participating in votings,
- generally, the products can only be created by cooperation,
- providing knowledge and experience in order to execute the development project at the planned date, with the planned budget and with the adapted quality,
- finding more economic solutions for the product life in accordance with product management.
The following rules always apply to the assignment of roles to products:
- All roles for the products required for a project shall be staffed.
- One role may be staffed by several persons.
- One person may occupy several roles of a project.
- Of course, it is permitted and desirable to employ know-how providers in addition to the presented roles.
- All specialties involved in the course of a product life should be integrated as early as possible.
