 Visionael Role Descriptions
DOC: 56KB / 3 pages
Team Composition
Visionael training addresses the skills required to successfully execute the roles that comprise a standard Visionael implementation. For any implementation a single user may execute one or more roles, depending on the project team size. The combination of roles is unique to each company and not every role is required for every project.
The first three roles of Visionael Project Manager, Web Master, and Database Administrator, are not specifically Visionael-related but are critical to a team's success. Visionael does not certify these roles, but they are described to clarify the complete project requirements. The roles of Helpdesk, Managers, and Network Operations are included, although they too are non-Visionael roles, because on-going support may be required. The remaining roles are Visionael-specific and require Visionael training. Below is an outline of the roles and their responsibilities.
