About program teams and automatically assigning responsible users

A program team is a group of users that are assigned a specific group and role for working on program deliverables. These groups of users are known as Resource Pools in Active Workspace. When the program is in the planning stage, these resource pools can be assigned to the plans or the program deliverables. This acts as a placeholder assignment. As the program nears its execution phase, a Program Manager can select a plan and then automatically assign users to program deliverables based on their resource pool assignments.

Keep the following in mind when configuring program teams

• The Teamcenter administrator creates the resource pools and the users within these pools.
• The Teamcenter administrator also sets up a project with the necessary resource pools assigned as Team Members.
• Since there can be only one responsible user assigned to a program deliverable, when setting up the project, the Teamcenter administrator selects only one user inside the resource pool as Team Members.
• The Program Manager assigns the appropriate resource pool as a placeholder resource assignment for an event's deliverables.
• Before the program execution phase starts, the Program Manager must add the project to the program plan that they want to automatically assign resources to.
• When the users are assigned to the program deliverables, a Responsible User is now displayed for the deliverable.
