  • Set-up regular check-ins with your Catalyst Success Manager (CSM)
Project team leadership

Each Catalyst team has been assigned a dedicated TM Forum Catalyst Success Manager (CSM) to support and assist as needed and help answer any questions you may have regarding the Catalyst program.  They will be checking in on a regular basis to make sure you are getting all the information. 

Collective project team 

There are several leadership positions that we require all project teams to identify.  Your team should decide who is best suited to fulfill these roles then update your team member profile in the Catalyst Team Tab in your Catalyst Space. A team member should only take on a single lead role so to not have one person responsible for multiple leadership roles. Details of team roles can be found here 

Project team leadership representative

TM Forum will provide a unique ZOOM account for Catalyst teams to use to help members work on the project, set up calls, and conduct meetings/demos etc. These are private and teams will be able to control who is allowed access to these calls. 

Fill out this form, and a ZOOM email and password will then be provided for team to use to set up calls for the duration of the Catalyst cycle.  This can then be shared with other team members.  

Remember to add new team members to any meeting invites or email your team uses for internal communications.
