  2. Steering Committee: Directs the project, manages change requests and escalates issues to the Executive Sponsors, as needed.
  3. Project Leads and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs): Secure and manage resources, lead business decisions, identify risks and issues, propose mitigation plans, coordinate change requests to the Project Management Office and approve deliverables. 
  4. Project Team: Actively participates in sessions, shares business requirements, and performs tasks, testing and validation.
