The project is mid-way through and focussing on transferring code and features in the Legacy application to the new version. This is fresh development into the system covering the features that are already offered to customers. Then after that, there will be requirements for new features in the new system.

The Team consists of 3 contract Front End developers, and they have identified that they require a Lead Developer to oversee them. This will be Task and Communication Management for requirements for them to build from. The Lead Developer will work closely with the Project Manager and Lead Business Analyst to convert business requirements into development tasks.
