- Coordinate hypercare and post-go-live user support (e.g., drop-in sessions, refresher training).
- Conduct post-go-live adoption and feedback surveys to track engagement and identify further improvement opportunities.
- Report progress, risks, and mitigations to the Project and Consultancy Change Manager, ensuring change deliverables are completed on time, to quality, and within budget.
