Using the FS & PDS Team Roles/Responsibilities Worksheets
The team leader may use the following Worksheet to develop a complete roster of GSA team and contractor roles/expertise and to
identify the appropriate level of responsibility for each team member for each step of the project. This exercise provides information
to manage individual and team member activities, support efficient coordination across the team, and keep the activities moving
smoothly and on schedule.
To complete the Worksheet, select the appropriate roster of GSA team members and contractors for the project (adding or deleting
roles as required). The descriptions of team roles and responsibilities on the previous pages may be helpful. Next, identify the level of
responsibility for each step of their involvement. Finally, share the completed Worksheet with all GSA team members and contractors.
