• If the individual team member leaves, the expectation is that Vendor will be able to handle the resource gap on its own and backfill within 2 weeks.
• If the lead PM decides to leave, an email notification 4 weeks before actual end date is needed and vendor is responsible to secure the next lead PM ASAP.
• When new requirement come up, Vendor must source, onboard and train new resource within 3 weeks. Hence, Vendor is encouraged to build a bench of resources and make them available as needed.
