Integrated planning, dependency management, RAID, change control
• Project and budget planning including forecasting and transparent tracking of external effort/costs

• Ensure cross-stream readiness for key RFQ deliverables that heavily impact operations (e.g., interfaces/integration simplification, Workday/ShapeIn integration, BCM/MBC, SoD/authorizations, and “living” documentation such as Signavio/process artefacts).
