Number of Open Questions

Team Leads Responsibilities

• Pick your working team to help you resolve your questions (should be between 4-8 participants in each team depending on topic).  I recommend a cross functional team.

• Assess the open scope questions assigned to you (final version to be sent out tomorrow – drafts are in the YSI folders).– Determine if they have been appropriately assigned to you.  If not, send the question back to Michael

Pusateri and myself with the suggestion of the person who should own the question.– Consolidate any questions (preserve cross reference ID)

• Scan any “during” questions assigned to you and validate that we can safely defer their consideration until after we kick-off the project. Move any to “before” if necessary.

• Prioritize the open questions in term of: – “Before” Issues that can impact the RFP selection (first) in order of priority / impact– “Before” Issues to be resolved for GL in order if priority / impact

• Determine the approach for resolution required to scope the project for vendor selection and for Greenlighting.  (defer any portion of the open question to the project if it is not necessary to resolve the project scope )

• Schedule your work sessions• Identify your “shared” questions and reach out that team lead and agree what will be done by

each group• Determine the timeline needed to resolve your high important issues• Work the questions as determined by your approach.  (Suggest involving others outside of your

core team to gather data points)• Save your team’s work in the YSI folders under > /Scope Resolution / [Your folder]• Report back in our weekly coordination meetings• Drive the questions to resolution
