Responsibilities (as shared by client)

• Develop proposed work plan/schedule for the effort with targeted milestones for getting from the project start through a year-end deployment.    (the initial plan will be updated/revised as needed as the project progresses and requirements finalized) - review schedule with Mara for suggestions/approval.
• Clarify for AS the resources you need them to provide for the project - suggest using PPM release charter roles, but you may want additional different client roles given that it is a consulting arrangement
• schedule and lead onsite meetings with AS to review the Assurant PPM implementation.  Gather requirements from AS and identify gaps.  This bullet is probably the trickiest one to do efficiently - plan to propose an approach, review and approved by Mara
• Document requirements  and design and review with AS team for approval.
• Assign project work to offshore team, coordinating with  Mara and Dave, so priorities for other Assurant worker also considered.  Provide documentation and meet with offshore team as needed to provide direction and feedback.
• Assume existing offshore resources will do the development work.    This new resource may do some work as well prototyping or helping with some conversion prep, but the bulk of the work should be done by Deepika and Arpit. My assumption is we'll schedule development tasks to do PPM RM first, then start on AS conversion development activities.
