Ensure all key deliverables (test plans, training programs, change management materials, cutover checklists, post-implementation reports) are completed on time and to quality standards
Lead stakeholder communication, ensuring timely updates and alignment across business units and executive leadership.
Plan and implement change management strategies, including training, adoption plans, and user readiness activities.
Document pilot lessons learned and integrated them into the rollout wave methodology.
Oversee vendor/system integrator activities and ensure SLA compliance.
Support PMO governance and standard methodology for rollout waves.
