Abstract Team is a group of people who share the common object. However, in the dynamically changing situation, the existing members may be excluded, and new members may be included. This change is one of the most critical problems, which cause the failure of the team. In this paper, we propose a way of maintaining team in spite of the member’s modification. In order to achieve this object, we employ an abstract layer between team and member. This layer provides roles to the team by hiding the members. Therefore, a team can be free from the actual members, and members can be free from binding to a specific team. The roles binding, which connects member to the team, is provided in the proposed model according to the situation by matchmaking the best suitable member for a given role. By this, even the team’s members are changed, the role, which is required in the team, can be bound to other suitable member. In the matchmaking process, it is not sufficient to find a member, who has ability to perform the required role, because a team needs a fellowship among the members. For this, a social relation is used as criteria for calculating the suitability of role binding.

1 Introduction Team is a group of people who share the common object. Therefore, when a project is released, a team is made to complete the project [1]. In ideal case, the members, who are included in the team, cooperate until the project is over. However, in most cases, the situation of the time, when the team is organized, is changed. Some members may leave the team, and some members may be added to the team. In some situations, some members have nothing to do and just wait until other members’ tasks are finished. Therefore, it is necessary to tolerate these exceptions in the team. When the structure of the team is modified while the project is in process, the cost of executing project increases, and the possibility of the failure is getting bigger. When some members of the team are in idle state waiting for others’ tasks, the efficiency of the team is getting lower. Therefore, we can say that the proper control of the team members is one of the most important features for team-based project management. As the change of the situation, where the project is executed, cannot be avoided, a novel method for member management is necessary. In this paper, we propose a wa
