Team Lead

Description
The role of the team lead is to verify that deliverables are produced at an appropriate level of quality within a planned time frame and cost.

The team lead reports to and takes direction from the project manager. A primary team lead may serve as the project manager's second-in-command. This team lead may also participate in project board meetings and lead special initiatives defined by the project manager.

The team lead may delegate or assign responsibilities to the project controller or project member for specific areas such as product deliverables. The team lead should clearly document which responsibilities are being delegated and the level of assignment for the responsibility. The level of assignment may include participation, accountability, review, input, or sign-off. Roles and responsibilities, which are part of the Organization Plan, can be used to map the subject areas being assigned to the roles.

Two individuals normally serve the team lead role: one from the organization and one from Deloitte Consulting. These individuals concur and share the responsibilities.
