Risk, Issue & Decision Management – maintain RAID logs, define mitigation plans and drive timely decisions with accountable owners.
Vendor & Contract Management – manage vendor deliverables, performance and invoicing against statements of work, ensuring accountability across MSP and third-party partners.
Quality Management – define acceptance criteria and quality checkpoints, and ensure deliverables are reviewed and signed off before stage-gate progression.
Stakeholder Engagement – maintain a stakeholder and communications plan, run regular project meetings and keep business and technical stakeholders aligned.
Status Reporting – provide regular status, financial and risk reporting to the DTP Lead and DTP governance forums.
