  • Coordinate UAT, manage environment readiness, ensure client sign-off on critical milestones, and facilitate alignment between client and delivery teams on requirements.
  • Identify, analyze, and monitor project risks; develop and implement mitigation strategies.
  • Manage scope changes through formal change control processes.
  • Ensure comprehensive, audit-ready documentation with traceability across application, database, configuration, and infrastructure; maintain adherence to ProgressSoft PM standards, banking compliance requirements, and quality standards.
