Project Sponsor Role – Jean Zahore
Senior member of the project board and often the chair who governs the project risk
 Key stakeholder of the project
 Helps with funding, scope clarification, and progress monitoring. Provides Influence to
others in order to benefit the project
 Leads the project through the engagement/selection process till it is formally authorized
and therefore plays a dominant role in the development of the initial scope and charter
 Issues beyond the control of the project manager, the sponsor serves as an escalation path
 Authorizes changes in scope, phase-end reviews, and go/no-go decisions when risks are
particularly high
 For internal projects, the project sponsor provides the statement of work based on business
needs, product, or service requirements
 In the early stages of the project life cycle, periodic review of the business case by the
sponsor helps to confirm that requirement of the project is still valid in current situation
 The Sponsor acceptance required during the close of project and it should be documented
as part of the project closure phase
Project Manager Role – Demetrius Jenkins
Has the overall responsibility for the successful initiation, planning, design, execution,
monitoring, controlling and closure of a project.

 Identifying, monitoring, and responding to risk
 Accomplish the project objectives within the constraints of the project. He/she is
responsible for the outcome (success or failure) of the project
 Involved with the planning, controlling and monitoring and also managing and directing the
assigned project resources to best meet project objectives
 Controls and monitors “triple constraints”—project scope, time and cost (quality also)—in
managing competing project requirements
 Examines the organizational culture and determine whether project management is
recognized as a valid role with accountability and authority for managing the project.
 Collects metrics data (such as baseline, actual values for costs, schedule, work in progress,
and work completed) & reports on project progress and other project specific information
to stakeholders
 Meet with project stakeholders for delivering a project’s objectives within scope, schedule,
cost, and quality

Security Analyst Role – Albert Brinkley

 Define, implement and maintain corporate security policies
Sr. Cybersecurity Developer – David Thompson
Works with development and network engineers to architect and implement the next
generation security systems and defense strategies for highly available services infrastructure.
 Researches methods to compromise systems and security to develop strategies and designs
to prevent intrusion
 Maintains security architectures with development and network engineers through
monitoring, provisioning and review of cyber security system operations
 Provides recommendation to management for security strategies to enforce policies and
protection of sensitive data and systems.
 Designs security infrastructure solutions to meet current and future application systems and
services

Sr. Application Security Developer – Eartha Robinson

course of design and development.
 Oversee a team of developers in the creation of secure software tools
 Will lead the role in software design, implementation and testing
 Develop a company-wide software security strategy
 Facilitate meetings and workshops to define client processes and needs
 Create new software systems or forensic healthcare tools
 Design and build proof of concept prototype solutions
 Institute programming techniques that are free from logical design and technical
implementation flaws
 Gain a thorough knowledge of attack vectors that may be used to exploit software
 Leverage attack tools to test your work for software vulnerabilities
 Research/identify flaws and remedy development mistakes
 Document the software development lifecycle
Sr. IT Security Solutions Developer –
Eberardo Gonzalez
 Strategic advisor to design, implement and support solutions and processes that will enable
business growth and manage risks
