Assign Development Team Members

Use

This task will set up the structure of the development team and highlight the skills needed within the team to complete the requirements. Besides the actual technical skills, administrative needs and leadership needs should be addressed if the project has a large amount of custom development.

Within large custom projects, it may be necessary to have someone administer the project plan exclusively. Also the team may need several team leads to be sure that each developer is getting the resources and answers that they need to complete their task.

It is helpful if all members of the team can be devoted to the project 100%. It is difficult for developers to work in separate environments at the same time.

Prerequisites

The requirements must be completed from the functional team.

Procedure

All requirements should be reviewed looking for the particular skill set that may be necessary. If there are client developers that are familiar with a particular business area, it may be helpful to assign them to that area and train them for the SAP skills. Conversely, you may want one person to be familiar with dialog modules and they handle all the online tasks for all business areas.

For areas with a large amount of custom development, there may be separate team leads to manage that particular area of work.

Result

The team structure is decided and team members are assigned.
