Overview
A critical part of a successful project is having the right project team. The is the “Org Chart” for your project (and overall program). The first step in getting the right team together is understanding what roles (also called “hats” or “job functions”) need to be filled.
This article provides a downloadable tool that you can use, as a starting point, to identify the job functions involved in a successful CIM (eCommerce and CRM) Program, Project(s), and resulting solution (using the CIMcloud Platform along with your ERP / Account Platform). You can also use the tool to fill out the names of the team members that will fill each job function (and/or identify and resolve gaps).
