Area Owners¶
In order to make sure that nothing falls through the cracks, and that work is not unduly piled onto a single person, we have a system of area owners. Ideally these area owners cover all parts of the programme. This list is not set in stone, and we expect it to change over time.
It is wise to make sure that each area owner has a deputy, who can step in when they are unavailable, and can at least be aware of what is going on in their area.
