• Partner with architects and engineers to ensure solutions meet technical requirements and established standards.
• Coordinate quality assurance, security testing, and compliance validation.
• Identify, assess, track, and mitigate project risks.
• Develop and execute change management plans supporting organizational and technology transitions.
• Plan and manage implementation cutovers, rollback strategies, and contingency plans.
• Coordinate post-implementation reviews and document lessons learned.
• Support training, documentation, and knowledge transfer for operations and support teams.
• Develop and coordinate operational runbooks and procedures for new IAM capabilities.
• Monitor team readiness and operational handoffs.
• Track project performance metrics, including schedule variance, budget variance, scope adherence, and value realization.
• Identify opportunities to continuously improve IAM project delivery processes.
