- Where several opinions are being offered on design, Business/Product Owner will make the final decision.

**Lead on delivery**
- Identify ECJU staff required in the design and development of the system features. Agree availability of this resource with the business and escalate any issues.
- Own allocated project milestones to ensure any delays are justified and any risks to delivery/operations are being mitigated appropriately.
- Contribute, own and take forward the rollout plan with DDaT.

**Lead and be involved with governance and assurance**
- Champion the rollout of LITE, motivating and energising the entire team as the ambassador for the benefits that the new digital service will bring.
- Jointly feed back with DDaT and the ECJU Head of Delivery to the LITE Project Board on the delivery of the project.
