Team Design Roles and Responsibilities
To work effectively on a project in a team design environment, it is important to understand project roles and expected responsibilities.
* 
The following list of roles and responsibilities are typical, but can vary somewhat depending on available resources and skill sets at your company.
Windchill Administrator
The Windchill administrator is typically responsible for preparing and configuring the Windchill server to communicate with the Cadence Team Design Option authoring application. The Windchill administrator also typically performs many other installation and configuration tasks such as:
• Installing and configuring the Windchill Workgroup Manager for Cadence Team Design Option application on all client systems used for the team design project.
• Configuring the shared project space and adding the team design roles on the Windchill server.
• Setting key preferences for both client and server systems.
• Customizing the default team design policy file on the Windchill server as well as the ADWSchemaConfig.xml file on the client systems per site requirements.
• Managing data visualization services on the Windchill server.

Project Integrator
The project integrator has two roles — logical integrator and physical integrator. Both roles can be the responsibility of one person, but could also be the responsibility of two separate individuals, as required by your corporate environment. The project integrator acts as the lead engineer and is typically responsible for enabling a team design project from the dashboard of the Cadence Team Design Option authoring application. The project integrator also performs an array of other tasks such as:
• Selecting or customizing an appropriate policy file for the project.
• Assigning IDs to project design objects that are checked in by the design team. For example, a board or schematic.
• Selecting and assigning team members to work on the team design.
• Determining the design structure (the use of blocks and/or design partitions) for the team design.
• Performing BOM attribute mapping.
• Assigning subdesign schematic blocks or board partitions to team member experts to work on.
• Notifying project team members when the project is ready to commence.
• Promoting/demoting team members within the project as needed.
• Consolidating completed subdesigns into a final design.

Team Member
Team members collaborate, share project information, and provide design services for the subdesigns that have been assigned to them by the project integrator. A team member performs many different design tasks such as:
• Joining a team design project when invited by the Project Integrator.
• Checking out team design objects from the server to a private local workspace to work on.
• Collaborating and communicating with other team members to move the project design forward.
• Updating (refreshing) the team design on the client system as needed while work is in progress.
• Generating derived data for a design object. For example, a BOM or a viewable for reference by other enterprise personnel.
• Checking design objects back into the server to update the team design and to share with other team members that have access to it.
