2 of the 8 transition criteria that are evaluated to determine whether significant development support is required [i.e., whether product(s) should be transitioned to GSS]
What is ... (must name 2)? (1) No ongoing clinical trial activity (except IIS or affilite-run studies) and no new clinical indications or claims planned (2) No outstanding regulatory commitments or major submissions (3) No significant product quality issue under investigation (4) No significant safety issue (including regulatory inquiries or PV signals) (5) No unresolved material supply issues (e.g., API source, packaging components, etc.) (6) No significant legal / contractual issues (7) No significant US Medical / Regulatory activities (until GSS is prepared to support US activities) (8) No capacity constraints in GSS

These are two of the actions a PM can take with a GPT to help the team raise issues & conflicts within the GPT and/or subteams.
What are ... (must share 2 - not necessarily these)? (1) monitor & help ensure GPT culture environment is conducive to openness, etc. (2) run more efficient meetings by ensuring opportunities exist in meeting to raise issues/conflicts (e.g., expected outcomes)

The average number of months it takes between the time a product is approved for transition until the official product transition date
What is ... 3-4 months? Note: while GSS becomes the primary contact for the product on the official product transition date, the GPT is still involved in closing out open issues for a 3-month period post transition. After that time, GSS will contact the GPT only on an ad-hoc basis.

What are some of the best practices / resources that can be applied by a PM to help ensure a GPT is functioning according to the GPT Model?
What are ... (must name 2 - not necessarily these)? (1) Conduct GPT Health Checks and act on findings where appropriate (2) Follow effective meeting guidelines and consider using metrics to measure baseline and progress (3) Consider / use Peer Recognition (4) Utilize GPT Master Schedule and Prioritization (5) Partner with HR Learning & Development, if appropriate

Some of the unique considerations when working with small partnerships.
What are ...? (1) Corporate financial stability (2) Resource capacity (skill sets, total available resources) (3) Less mature processes, systems and control (4) Relative importance of partner product pipeline / Corporate value

What are... (must name 2)? (1) Communicate key information to functional estimators, department management, and senior management. (2) Assist with strategic design or establishing strategic planning for global operations activities, and tactical execution to achieve departmental strategies, goals, and objectives. (3) Accountability to ensure that the functional area operates within the current budget by tracking actuals, forecasting headcount, developing Latest Best Estimates, and explaining variance in collaboration with others (i.e. Directors, Function Heads, Department Managers, or GPRD Finance).

These are the definitions of 2 of the Leading Change Model ... 7 Steps to Success
What are (must correctly define 2)? (1) Define the change - develop the business case for change (2) Develop sponsorship - Identify those with the power to legitimize and sanction the change (3) Assess Change Readiness - Get key people on board (4) Create Change Plan - Document how to implement the change (5) Implement the Change - Introduce tangible aspects of chnage into the work environment (6) Evaluate - Determine how the change will be evaluated (7) Sustain - Achieve long term outcome of change
