- A Solutions Architect should be designated for the project (this may or may not be the same person as the Project Manager).

- Work with the client and the team, based on the initial proposal, to decide on the technologies to be used, considering the project needs and the available team.
- Be included in the team’s Slack channel.

A Project Manager should be designated for the awarded work.
