You are a program manager for a large established company that does a lot of military sub$-$contracting. Your company has been engaged to design the next generation of supply vessels to support military operations in other nations. However, this vessel needs to be designed with two important differentiations than a normal warship. First, it needs to be designed so that it can convert from a supply vessel, to a troop transport to a medical vessel to a vessel to support relief operations. Second, the vessel needs to be designed in a manner where it can be built in modules in different shipyards and then assembled in one location. Due to the complexity of the design and engineering of this vessel, the US has commissioned a five year design program to develop the vessel that accommodates these needs.

As the program manager for this company, you have been tasked with building a team of ten professionals from any part of the company to handle each of the following aspects of the engineering program:

Lead Engineer

Contract Manager

Financial Manager

Creative Design

Client Support

You will need to select a primary and a secondary for each role in the event that some of the key people leave the company, or are pulled from the project. Since this design will span five years, your experience tells you that you need to have a primary and a secondary to make sure that there is continuity throughout the five years of the program. This program is considered high profile and so you need to have someone in client support to assist with making sure that the client is kept appraised of progress. Although this is your permanent assignment, you know that you will also be tasked with other requirements by the company.
