Highlights

Establish and operate project governance from day one - steering committee cadence, RAID log, change control board, decision log, and status reporting framework; governance must be operational before delivery teams begin work, not retrofitted after problems appear. Define the project roadmap and integrated delivery plan at the outset - break the project into logical phases or waves, identify the critical path, map all workstream dependencies, and establish milestones that stakeholders can hold the team to.

  • Define the project roadmap and integrated delivery plan at the outset - break the project into logical phases or waves, identify the critical path, map all workstream dependencies, and establish milestones that stakeholders can hold the team to

  • Own project financial management - track T&M actuals and forecast weekly, manage change requests through formal scope change process with full impact assessment on budget, schedule, and risk, and present financial health to SLT with transparency
  • Facilitate and own Agile project ceremonies where applicable - PI Planning, System Demos, Inspect and Adapt workshops - ensuring all teams have clear objectives, dependencies mapped, and capacity planned for each increment
  • Proactively manage the RAID log - identify risks before they become issues, assign owners, review mitigation progress weekly, and escalate items that exceed the project's risk tolerance with clear options and a recommended course of action
  • Lead change management activities - assess the organizational impact of the project, build a stakeholder communication plan, ensure business readiness activities (training, process change, cutover preparation) are tracked as project deliverables not afterthoughts
  • Be the single accountable point of contact for project health - provide weekly written status reports and participate in steering committee meetings with an honest, metric-backed view of progress, risks, and decisions needed; never present a rosier picture than reality supports
