&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        On small, agile teams this role is often shared among several team members that also perform other roles.&amp;nbsp; See&#xD;
        &lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithType&quot; href=&quot;./../../openup/guidances/guidelines/self_organize_work_assignments_F47FC314.html&quot; guid=&quot;_rmBEkJjsEduad8I_c-ogIA&quot;>Guideline: Self Organize Work Assignments&lt;/a>&amp;nbsp;and &lt;a class=&quot;elementLinkWithType&quot; href=&quot;./../../openup/guidances/guidelines/staffing_project_70705561.html&quot; guid=&quot;_Jq64EJjsEduad8I_c-ogIA&quot;>Guideline: Staffing a Project&lt;/a>&amp;nbsp;for more information on this approach.&#xD;

    &lt;/li>&#xD;
