In these scenarios, the PM will assist the Cloud Business Planner with launch operational processes such as: Control Tower card updates (represents a launch), Change Requests (output of launch), pre-production ICM creation and updates (correct mistakes/issues), Change Summary validations (ensure all data input is correct), and the exception process (when launch misses the date). This also includes PM support for key stakeholders such as Software Engineers (meter minting process/reporting) and Business Planners (OBI recommendations and gathering systems issues to facilitate improvements of processes).
• Meeting coordination and support. Facilitate meeting coordination for cross-functional stakeholder meetings, wallows (reviews) with leadership, and team syncs. Attend launch-related meetings on behalf of the Business Planner and serve as the liaison relaying important updates, sharing back relevant information, and advocating for resource prioritization.
• Team enhancements, improvements, and special projects Follow new developments, share best practices, and support the coordination of strategic team initiatives. In addition, support new Business Planners by connecting them to critical resources and key stakeholders.
• Project & Review Tracker updates. The Project Tracker is a List the team uses to track projects that are not yet in, or may never be in, Control Tower. Business Planners leverage the Project Tracker to track their projects and identify needed signoffs and reviews. Suppliers will be responsible for helping create and update projects and flag when topics are ready to be scheduled for a review on behalf of Cloud Business Planners. They will also partner closely with the Business Planners to monitor and coordinate topics for regular standing reviews with the VP.
