Entrepreneurial Project Flexibility

projects. We have had historical success for clients when we reserve the
option to initiate conversation with the client for a project pivot when we see
a better path or opportunity to pursue that can lead to greater success. This is
not meant to mitigate enFocus of project responsibility but rather to create a
scenario that will produce the most valued outcome for the City.

$gg,000. Hours will be recorded for each month and invoiced on the last day

days are excluded
Stakeholder Management
The stakeholders from the City are recognized to be:

z) Dan O'Connor, Chief Technology Officer, City of South Bend
In client engagements, enFocus identifies a champion on the client side to
ensure seamless project execution. The client champion will be responsible

Agreement we have referred to Santiago Garces and Dan O'Connor as the
Project Champions.

success for the City.
