All,
I have
updated the activities for the SQA resource based on our meeting. PLEASE
advise if you have any queries on the description below. Please note that
I will like to be AS specific as possible in regards to the SQA role as this
role will touch MULTIPLE ERs.
From a CA
perspective, we plan to have someone allocated in the near term (this is NOT a
promise of a firm date); realistically, I expect this resource to be fully
effective in the i8 timeframe, given the STEEP learning curve. Given
where we are today, I do NOT see this resource being fully effective for the i7
ERs, even though I list i7 below.

Note: This SQA
resource will have a learning curve of AT LEAST 4 weeks before s/he is fully
familiar with all the aspects of the COSMOS DC and the corporate
implementations. After being on the job for about 2 months, the SQA Manager
would have enough info on how to scale up the SQA team sometime EARLY 2008.
