Roles and Responsibilities

Project subsetting involves different roles, which typically give developers more responsibilities. If at all possible, assign these roles to the same people throughout the life of a project.

• The project team leader assigns work based on cohesive sets of objects.
• The project team members define and check out subsets according to guidelines.
• Group the project team member's responsibilities by functional area to reduce contention and implement changes with a minimum of checkouts.
• The data administrator defines and checks out subsets for data model changes after the model is stable. This is typically done to protect the data model from inadvertent changes.
• The database administrator defines and checks out subsets for technical design tasks.
• The project subset expert assists the project team leader with task assignments, troubleshoots subsetting problems, and also create starter subsets for each unit of work to be assigned.
• Project subset experts are familiar with the application, with CA Gen, and experienced at complex subset definition. They also review subset definitions occasionally for effectiveness. This is usually a part-time role.
• Internal CA Gen Technical Support troubleshoots hardware and software problems that are related to subsetting.
