Comments: (Handwritten or typed comments from above stakeholders, if applicable) “I am concerned about people’s reactions to cancelling most internal training and totally changing most training courses. I also hate to terminate some contracts with local training firms we’ve used for several years. We should try to get some of them involved in this project.” Lucy “I wat to review all of the information related to providing the supplier management training. We need to make something available quickly.” Tim
