Roles and Responsibilities

The duties formally assigned to each member of a team.

Assigning roles is the organizing function. Delegation moves a duty to somebody else while the manager keeps the evaluating step, and a duty handed over with no follow-up check has been abandoned rather than delegated.

Often confused with
