  • Roles on a Project
    Jim and Ken discuss the roles performed on a project to make it successful. This is not the same as positions (like manager); think of it as "starting a project" or "ending a project." Roles can be fulfilled by one person wearing many hats, but more often, the skills needed mean different people performing different roles.
