Role refers to the function, responsibilities, and accountabilities assumed by a person or a team in a particular situation, scenario, or system. Roles are the building blocks of organizational structures. Roles may be defined by their title; however, they are much more than the title itself. A role definition should include a variety of aspects of daily work, including responsibilities, accountabilities, interdependencies, and business capabilities.
