Project Board & Team

The Project Board & Team object enables you to identify the key people involved in the initial and implementation stages of the project. The access to specific areas of the project will be based on the allocation of roles to project staff.

All Staff members must be added to the Project Board and Team in order to assign responsibilities within the project for them.

You will notice that the 'Project Owner' you selected within the 'Project Details' area is already displayed here as the Project Owner.

Additionally, if this project is linked to a planning element (i.e. action or task), the responsible person of that element will be automatically listed here as the Action Owner.

STEP 1: Click on the 'Add new Project member' icon.

STEP 2: Specify the following details.

* Fields activated/affected by Premium version are marked with an asterisk below.

Field	Description / Instructions	Mandatory / Optional
Name	Select the project team member name from the full list of staff.	Mandatory
Position	Select the project position. Project positions are defined by the IPM Administrator. The security permissions will be different based on the position linked to a user.	Optional
Description	The description field is auto populated by the definition provided by the IPM administrator for the linked project position.	Optional
Implementation role	Tick box specifies that the particular role assigned to the project team member is an implementation role - this is for reporting purposes only.	Optional
interplan responsible person	Tick box indicates that the user is the responsible person of linked interplan action.	Not Applicable

If a user with IPM Administrator or project manager security permission is linked to a particular project role, then security permission assigned for that particular project role within Settings Configuration > Project Position area will be overridden. For any other security permissions assigned for the particular user within interplan staff management area will be overridden by the security permission defined for the particular project role linked to the user.

You can identify the staff member's involvement in the current project in terms of FTE which stands for Full-time equivalent. An FTE of 1.0 means that the person is equivalent to a full-time worker, while an FTE of 0.5 signals that the worker is only half-time.

* Project Management Premium activation will enable FTE.

STEP 3: Select a FTE from the dropdown list.

If you select "Separate" as the FTE Allocation you will be allowed to enter different allocations for each staff member such as 0.25, 0.5 0.75 etc.

Alternatively, if you select Equal, the value you enter will be replicated across all staff in the project team. Hence, if you enter 1.0, all members allocated to the project will be working for the project on a full time basis.

You can view the staff time allocation within the 'Project Budget' area.

Once the rollover process is in progress and if a particular project is being linked to both current and next period actions then the project board and team object will enable the user to select both responsible person of the two actions to be defined as 'Interplan responsible person'.

In an instance where the Project Board and Team object is attached to more than one phase,

Data entered in one phase will be copied to the proceeding phases upon phase signoff.
Data entered in the proceeding phases will not be copied to the previous phases.
If sign off object is NOT included in a phase or when 'can proceed' check box is ticked, data entered in one phase will NOT be copied to the proceeding phase.
