Hi Emani,

Sorry for a bit delayed response. I am sharing my experience for the roles and responsibilities of team lead in a support project.

Team Lead mainly performs the following activities.

Status Reporting: As per the project guidelines he may provide status reporting to both the client and the internal stakeholder of his own organisation.

(ii)Process Owner Communication / Liaison: he may be required to communicate with the business process owners.

(iii) Work Assignment: He will be responsible for assigning the work(which is actually the service request or tickets) to the team members and also will continuoulsy monitor their timely closure.

(iv)Quality Control / Approvals: He will also be responsible for the overall quality of deliverables and will provide approvals if necessary.

Apart from these he will be responsible for managing the other soft issues like the training and development needs of his team members, their appraisal etc and will plan the resource deployment strategy for future.

Hope I had been of some help to you. Please assign points.

Rgds
