- Work alongside technical architects and QA leads to ensure integration readiness checkpoints are embedded within sprint cycles.
- Support UAT planning and execution coordination, ensuring business sign‑off activities are tracked as sprint deliverables.
- Migration Project Delivery Lead
- Lead Agile delivery coordination for data and system migration work streams, managing sprint goals, cutover readiness checklists, and parallel‑run validation activities.
- Collaborate with data architects, POs, and QA teams to ensure migration milestones are sprint‑sequenced with clear acceptance criteria.
- Ensure business continuity risks are captured in the risk register and actively managed through the migration delivery lifecycle.
- Stakeholder Engagement & Reporting
- Act as the primary Agile delivery point of contact for program managers, PMOs, and senior business stakeholders.
- Produce and maintain sprint reports, program increment dashboards, and delivery scorecards tailored to both technical and business audiences.
- Facilitate stakeholder workshops on Agile ways of working, change management, and delivery governance.
- Ensure compliance with banking‑sector delivery governance standards, including audit trails, change management logs, and release documentation.
