Explain the federal and state funding rationale, legislative drivers, and historical context underlying legacy system behavior so that the FORGE team can accurately represent it in their documentation.
Participate in FORGE working sessions and brownfield review meetings to transfer business knowledge directly to the delivery team.
Respond to ad-hoc questions from the OWPB Systems Support team regarding Federal Aid program assumptions, historical fund allocation decisions, and FM Suite system behavior.
Review assumptions underlying the Obligation Authority (OA) plan and the Advance Construction (AC) program as they relate to FORGE documentation accuracy.
