I feel like replacing someone with the Project Manager might be too simplistic for this project. We should probably keep the current roles and just add the relevant ones instead.

I'm a bit confused about whether we should remove the Hardware Manager. He seems important, but I guess he doesn't really represent the user perspective.

Okay, let's see. The Citrix Studio console would be a good place to configure the SSL settings for the Delivery Controller. And the Citrix StoreFront console should have options to secure the STA traffic. I'm pretty confident those are two of the right tools.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know the report should cover the test goals and conclusions, but I can't remember if it also includes the test subject demographics or just their names. Let me think this through carefully.

If the Payroll Manager wrote the Business Case standards, they'd better be on the assurance team! I agree, options C and E are the way to go.

Ha, the Hardware Manager has 'little awareness of the needs of his colleagues working in software' - sounds like a classic IT department situation! I'd go for options C and E.
