- Managing complex and high-risk implementations requiring integration between multiple parties (internal/external) to ensure safe delivery.
- Coordinating the integration process and / or implementation events across shared infrastructure (e.g. Upgrading the Mainframe); leading on the SI process, coordinating parties to get the change over the line.
- Providing expertise (not content) for governance activity owned by the Product Owner, e.g. PRIA, for change across multiple programmes.
