Abstract This paper presents an approach for identifying team-roles. The proposed approach is based on the interpretation of a design process in terms of the behavior of the members of the team. Behavior is codified in terms of the team member’s process and physical activities. In this study a collaborative design process was recorded on video-tape and analyzed in detail. The process was decomposed into distinct sections called events. In every event each team member was assigned a team-role taking into consideration the activity of the team member, i.e. what the team member does, how activity of the team member, i.e. what the team member does, how the team member does it, and the context of the event. A graphical representation of the results called ‘role-profile’ was developed making it possible to clearly identify a basic team-role for every subject in the observed design process.

This study maps Pakistani project management (PM) teams on the Lewis model in different PM lifecycle phases and determines the traits of different subcultures within Pakistan in PM phases. Qualitative data was collected through 56 questionnaires and 15 interviews of Pakistani project managers. Findings suggest that, cumulatively, the team members show more linear-active traits as compared to the Lewis's classification of Pakistan. Also, at subcultural level, team behavior varied in different PM phases. Moreover, Pakistani project managers were found to prefer their teams to show linear-active traits in all PM phases except ‘initiating,' where reactive traits are preferred.
