Editor's Notes
- #7 Why should we provide context sensitive solutions? Best meet needs and opportunities Obtain stakeholder acceptance compatible with local valuesWhere does CSS apply? Everywhere
- #12 Additional point – both the sponsoring agencies and the project team need to have the same disciplines to properly create and review the work done and to obtain the approvals needed.Ask how the project manager will know which disciplines to put on project team. Answer: it is based on project definition and scoping, as determined from needs, objectives, issues, opportunities.
- #13 Provide some examples (e.g., what would it be in the local community with a local or state project).
