  • Senior user and senior supplier ensure user needs and technical integrity are met, and commit the right resources at the right time.Diversity
  • The project manager runs day-to-day delivery within tolerances, maintains controls and logs, and manages information flow across levels.Fairness
  • Project assurance must remain independent from the project manager to provide credible oversight of risk, quality, scope, and communications.Quality
