Pathfinder
Talking to team members is part of a broader process. Initial conversations are likely to be with the project sponsor and/or the team leader. The questions you ask team members will be very much influenced by those conversations. In that sense think of the TCC Pathfinder as a kind of template, one you will spend some work reviewing and refining on the basis of those conversations.
