• Coordinate business and operational readiness, including validation, service verification, documentation, runbooks, knowledge transfer, support arrangements and transition to BAU operations.
• Maintain project governance across scope, schedule, budget, resources, RAID, dependencies, decisions and milestones, and provide migration reporting and dashboards.
