A large government agency has been created to monitor government subcontractors as shown in Exhibit I. Below are the vital characteristics of certain project office team members: Project manager: Directs all project activities and acts as the information focal point for the subcontractor. Assistant project manager: Acts as chairman of the steering committee and interfaces with both in$-$house functional groups and contractor. Department managers: Act as members of the steering committee for any projects that utilize their resources. These slots on the steering committee must be filled by the department managers themselves, not by functional employees. Contracts officer: Authorizes all work directed by the project office to in house functional groups and to the customer and ensures that all work requested is authorized by the contract. The contracts officer acts as the focal point for all contractor cost and contractual information.
