· Manage stakeholder expectations and escalate critical issues with appropriate context and recommended actions.

· Maintain decision logs, risk registers, action trackers, and project status reports.

· Coordinate with customers, vendors, implementation partners, and other external stakeholders when required.

Quality and Release Management:

· Work with QA teams to define testing strategy, test coverage, defect-management processes, and release acceptance criteria.

· Ensure functional, integration, regression, performance, security, and user-acceptance testing are planned appropriately.

· Track defects and ensure critical issues are resolved before production releases.

· Coordinate release planning, deployment readiness, rollback planning, and go-live activities.

· Facilitate go/no-go meetings and ensure required approvals are obtained.

· Coordinate post-release validation, production monitoring, incident resolution, and lessons-learned reviews.

Governance and Reporting:· Maintain project plans, sprint dashboards, RAID logs, release plans, resource plans, and project documentation.

· Track project health using measurable delivery, quality, risk, and financial indicators.

· Monitor project budgets, resource utilization, vendor costs, and delivery forecasts where applicable.

· Ensure adherence to organizational governance, security, privacy, compliance, and change-management requirements.

· Continuously improve project-management and software-delivery processes.
