# Role Purpose Format

* Every role, from its point of creation, must have a purpose in its role definition.  
* Every role's purpose must be expressed in a PQR format, "To \[achieve a goal] by \[main activity] in order to \[broader overarching goal]", unless the Circle Lead of the role waives this requirement (for example, because the role is temporary, self-evident, or has no direct impact on deliverables).  
* If a role is permitted to go without a PQR, or it needs an interim purpose while the PQR is being drafted, its purpose must be expressed as an answer to the question, "What does wild success for this role look like?"
