Project Teams and Team Roles

A team is a collection of roles on a project. You can divide the people on a team into two categories: scheduled members and nonscheduled members.

Scheduled team members are those people for whom you want to track the hours, utilization, and financial impact (costs, revenue, and margin). Your scheduled team members for a project can also be referred to as the delivery team. For more information about scheduled team members, see Defining Scheduled Team Members.

Nonscheduled team members of a project comprise the extended team and include project team members whose time is not specifically tracked. For more information about nonscheduled team members, see Defining Nonscheduled Team Members.

Subteams enable you to classify your people on your project into logical groups. For example, you may have resources on a project that you can group into consultants, administrative staff, and engineers, or, you may have people grouped into subteams for different phases of a project.

For a project, you can enter general staffing information such as the default calendar, role list, initial team template, and advertisement rules.

The role list controls access for the roles that you can add to your project. The initial team template indicates the name of the team template that was used to create requirements on the project upon initial project creation.

The advertisement rule controls the visibility of requirements both inside and outside of the organization. For more information, see Advertisement Rule for a Requirement, Oracle Project Resource Management User Guide.

Oracle Projects comes seeded with a project manager role, and requires that you designate one project team member as a project manager. While you can have only one project manager at any point in time, you can change the project manager role assignment as necessary.

Note: Approved contract projects must have a project manager for the duration of the project. A project manager is not required for indirect projects or capital projects.

You can also define people as team members in order to facilitate distribution of Projects reports to responsible parties.
