Enable Non-Team Members to Manage Team Rosters in TargetProcess

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Current Limitation:
In TargetProcess, only users who are members of a team and have the appropriate permissions can manage that team’s roster. This restriction poses a challenge for roles such as Release Train Engineers (RTEs), who are responsible for overseeing multiple teams but are not intended to be embedded within each one.

Problem Statement:
Adding an RTE to every agile team solely to grant roster management capabilities contradicts agile best practices and introduces unnecessary administrative overhead. As a result, teams have resorted to various workarounds that are inefficient, inconsistent, and difficult to scale.

Proposed Enhancement:
Extend roster management permissions to designated users—such as RTEs—even if they are not members of the team. This could be implemented via role-based access control or a configurable permission setting that allows specific users to manage team compositions without being added to the team itself.

Benefits:

  • Alignment with Agile Best Practices: Maintains the integrity of team membership by avoiding artificial additions.
  • Operational Efficiency: Reduces the need for manual workarounds and streamlines team administration.
  • Scalability: Supports enterprise-level agile frameworks where RTEs and similar roles oversee multiple teams.
