• Maintain the workstream plan, decision log, assumptions, risks, issues and dependencies, with clear owners and escalation routes.
• Define readiness criteria and coordinate testing, cutover, hypercare and service transition for a controlled Day 1 and subsequent migrations.
• Report concise, evidence-based updates to programme governance and the steering committee on readiness, required decisions, delivery risks and mitigations.
• Own key deliverables: application inventory, Day 1 readiness checklist, migration roadmap, dependency and risk tracker, and regular governance updates.
