4. Crucial to the success of this project were skills, talent, and hard work of the Inet Application Project Team. The team consists of a small central group of Department of Personnel developers and a host of others assisting. Chief among these are: Warren Kelly-the information technology project manager; Rob Yarbrough - the database architect and programming specialist; Jacqui Shrier - responsible for testing the program's functionality; and special recognition to David Amyakar of Amyakar Consulting for his significant contribution to the project's success by covering all aspects from architecture to programming. Many thanks to other Department of Personnel staff without whose efforts this project would not have been possible. In particular, Ginny Dale, the Recruiter who let us experiment with her job classes and who provided us with tremendous feedback and encouragement. Last, but certainly not least, are the Directors and managers of the Department of Personnel who supported this project: Dennis Karras, Gene Matt, Dorothy Gerard and DougTanabe. Without them, this project could not have happened.
