• Provide strategic thinking, solutions, and roadmaps while driving enterprise recommendations and ensuring adherence to established standards and practices, including the development of standards and practices where they may not yet exist.
• Provide ownership for all requirement and solution definition artifacts throughout the project lifecycle, including TOM and Traceability Matrices.
