- Automation Framework: Define and drive the implementation of a comprehensive, multi-layered automation framework capable of scaling to the entire transformed landscape.
- Execution Oversight and Reporting
- Defect Triage Leadership: Chair high-priority, multi-vendor defect triage meetings, managing the defect lifecycle, setting severity/priority guidelines, and ensuring development and vendor teams meet aggressive resolution SLAs.
- Progress Reporting: Provide clear, concise, and high-stakes progress and quality reports to C-level stakeholders and the Program Steering Committee, highlighting the program's readiness for critical milestones (e.g., Go/No-Go decisions for cutover).
- Cutover and Stabilization Support: Support the final Cutover and Go-Live activities by leading a testing command center to validate post-migration processes and stabilize the new environment during the warranty period.
