• Transition projects from external partners (e.g., GCs) to internal Launch teams.
• Ensure that contracted resources deliver work to meet duration and quality targets, addressing and ensuring the correction of under-performance issues.
• Inform developers and contractors of projected changes in resource or work demand so that they can take appropriate action.

• Evaluate appropriate procurement and contracting methods for specific projects.
