It's important to obtain commitment, preferably in written statements within the project's scope to ensure the assigned team's stability. Such statements can offer a safeguard against abrupt team changes and provide a foundation for trust between partners and clients.Role of a "releader": The term "releader" is introduced.

Successful releaders need qualities such as patience, people management skills, and the ability to problem-solve inherited issues.
