HOTSPOT - Scenario - A photographer from Portraits Ltd, a professional photographic company, has taken on the role of Team Manager after taking some time to understand the requirements of the project.

A contract for their services has been set up and is being monitored by the Purchasing Manager and a Work Package has been agreed.

This contract specifies that the photographer must arrange a meeting with the Engineering Manager to establish a schedule for the photo sessions to minimize the impact on the Engineering staff.
