Your Role as a Team Member

P6 is the application used by your project manager to manage the projects you are working on. Your responsibilities on a project are broken down into activities, also referred to as assignments. Activities might be assigned to you by your project manager who can also assign you as the activity owner. Alternatively you can assign activities to yourself and make yourself the activity owner. Once an activity is assigned to you in P6, you can view and update your status on the activity in P6 Team Member Web.

The fields available for you to view and update are set for each project by the project manager in P6. The fields in your view may vary by project.

Have a conversation with your project manager to determine:

• If you are a resource assignment, activity owner, or if you are assigned a Team Member work distribution filter. The fields that display in the progress pane are specific to one of these roles.
• Which fields are important for you to update when providing status.
• How often you need to provide status.
• Whether you can assign yourself to activities and as the activity owner.
