Task team creation and Assessment

Work requests which are of an extreme complexity or have far yielding implications on the TM Forum standards will normally be addressed within a task team.

The task team could be generated by a predefined group of people or work as an ordinary development team, putting an open call for participation and setting a Team Leader.  In either case, they should conduct minuted meetings etc.

The team has the freedom to address this item as best fits the problem at hand.  HOWEVER .... The team have a timeframe of 3 months in which to complete the assessment and return their final report, which should at a minimum have broken down the issue into manageable bits and indicate the expected implementation effort, priority and urgency.

Maturity Level will typically be a level 1 at this point.
