In the scope of onboarding -and design, they are also responsible (unless there's an internal -operational team) for the operational concerns which means the tooling -built in this effort will need to be continually supported. -Their **users** are all the above. The design tool is intended to span -across multiple environments thus must run where all the required -parties have access. |
