Some roles can be combined

Some roles can be combined and some are mutually exclusive. For example, one person can perform one of the following combinations of roles:

Application lead developer and ETL lead developer (assuming the person has the different skill sets required for both)

Data administrator, data quality analyst, and meta data administrator (assuming the person has the required technical skills)

Data quality analyst, subject matter expert, and business representative

Mutually exclusive roles, which should never be assigned to the same person, are listed below.

Data administrator and database administrator: The data administrator produces process-independent logical data models, while the database administrator produces process-dependent physical data models (logical database designs). It would be difficult for one person to perform these bipolar activities on the same project, even if the person had the skills to do both.

Project manager and any nonlead role: Managing a BI decision-support project is a full-time job and cannot be put in second position to any development work. One person will simply not have time to both manage the project and do the work.
