Overview
The Roles and Responsibilities Notion template is designed to clarify team duties for a more effective workflow. It's a structured guide that helps teams identify and discuss their roles and responsibilities through a series of steps.
Preparation and Setup: The team sets up a common area and a table with columns for Role, Responsibilities (as perceived by others), Responsibilities (as perceived by myself), and Unallocated tasks.
Role Delineation: Team members list their roles in the table. If a role is shared or a member has multiple roles, this is accounted for.
Responsibility Mapping: Each member writes down what they perceive to be the responsibilities of other roles, as well as their own. These are then discussed and compared.
Final Table: The template includes a table where all this information is consolidated. It also has a section for unallocated responsibilities that don't clearly belong to any role.
This template is particularly useful for newly formed teams, teams that have undergone recent changes, or teams that are about to take on new projects. It ensures everyone is aligned and aware of their responsibilities, reducing misunderstandings and conflicts.
