• Monitor project progress and ensure regular follow-up of actions, risks, dependencies, deliverables, and functional decisions across program releases.
• Define the acceptance strategy, validate functional test cases, support test execution, and ensure follow-up of testing activities using Agile delivery tools.
• Contribute to operational readiness by preparing documentation, supporting training activities, and providing level 3 functional support when required.
