Ensure workstreams are appropriately resourced, priorities and responsibilities clearly understood and aligned, ensuring team members have the support and resources they need to succeed. Foster a collaborative and high-performance team culture.
• Stakeholder Management: Engage with stakeholders to understand their business outcomes and needs and translate these to technical solutions and an integrated delivery plan that considers respective priorities and dependencies, broader business and program context, and iterative value opportunities.
