Get to know your roles

As a member of the organization, you have been assigned to one or several roles on Holaspirit. With roles, your work is not organized with a traditional job description but with explicit purpose and clear accountabilities.

What's the point of a role?

  • It describes the work expected of its members

  • It defines the boundaries, authorities and areas of initiative of each.

  • It puts clarity on “who does what” and “who decides what”.

  • It brings flexibility, by allowing easy iterations in accordance with the organization context.

To see your roles, go to the Governance module and click on the Roles section. From there, you'll access two views:

  • My Roles gathers all your roles and helps you identify your scope in the organization.

  • All the Roles gives you an overview of the roles of your organization so you can easily identify what other people of your organization are working on.


Update your role

A role is made of 8 sections that each help share information about the role itself and keep track of its activities.

The Overview is composed of the Purpose (all the activities that the role can do), one or multiple Domains ( the activities that the other roles can't do without the role prior approval), one or multiple Accountabilities (describe all the activities that the role must do) and Policies.

  1. Your roles are likely to evolve with the context and needs of your organization. It is up to you to edit your roles on the platform to be as close as possible to the reality of your work! You can edit a role via the “Edit Role” button on the Role page or in a Governance Meeting.

  2. The Documents section lists the documents that the role uses. Here you can add publications or attachments relevant to improve the comprehension of your roles or describe specific processes.

  3. Activities lists all changes and updates made to the role and its activities (by whom, what, and when).

  4. The Metrics monitor the performance of the role's activities. You can define the metrics of your choice and choose their frequency. It should be relevant to measure the accomplishments of objectives.

  5. Checklists are lists of recurrent things to do. They serve as a reminder and allow you not to forget anything in the follow-up of a process.

  6. You can organize your Projects in a Kanban dashboard to track your projects' progress and share progress with your team.

  7. To better organize your Tasks with your roles and get reminders of what to do, you can add Actions.

👉 Metrics, Checklists, Projects and Actions can be reviewed with your circle's members during Tactical Meetings.
