Most methodologies warn against the use of part time resources as project leaders. This is more so true with Blackbelts. However, the Army has a unique situation with the Army Reserves. These are true full time members who serve up to a total of 38 days per year. Couple that with the fact that most if not all are being pulled in other directions on other mission essential tasks, and their availability becomes even less so.

We currently have 1 Blackbelt and 2 Greenbelt candidates who fit these roles. A strategy we are looking at is having those memebers/candidates report for active duty to complete the critical pieces of the project.
