• Apply established project management standards, lifecycle phases, governance forums, reporting expectations, and project documentation requirements.
• Ensure appropriate delivery discipline across feasibility, design, build, testing, deployment, closure, sustainment, milestone reviews, change control, and formal approvals.
• Identify gaps in existing project delivery practices and recommend practical improvements that strengthen standards, tools, and execution.
