Issues:
- Bringing together the report from a wealth of information requires a
careful balance of concision and detail.
Key learnings
- Collectively, the team will own the content and spirit of the report.
- Customers, as represented by the AAC, are ready to work on business
policies and practices; they agree that addressing these business
activities up front and early in the project is a key opportunity to
question and improve work processes
- ASPCC involvement and interest is very productive and provides a broader
set of perspectives to combine with the work of the team.
- Keeping all of the components of the work in synch is intensive.
Team dynamics:
- The team is ready to complete its work and begin the implementation efforts.
