ABSTRACT
The design team organisation presented in this chapter is an updated version of a model published by McCallion and Britton (1991). It is applicable to all design teams. The original study distilled the essential features for successful team performance by studying different kinds of teams in industry: quality circles, chief programmer teams, egoless programming teams, design teams, value-added management teams and planning teams. The updated version takes into account Aspelund’s (2006) sub-activities of design (Chapter 3), by considering how they should be delegated to different roles.
