• Lead recurring project meetings and working sessions; publish agendas, notes, decisions, and action items.
• Provide clear weekly status updates to leadership and stakeholders (progress, risks, decisions needed, and next steps).
• Track risks, issues, and dependencies across teams; escalate appropriately and drive timely resolution.
• Support change management and adoption by coordinating communications, training plans, and readiness activities.
• Coordinate tenant provisioning and environment setup (production and, as needed, sandbox).
• Support system configuration and workflow alignment with College stakeholders.
• Coordinate data migration support (templates, validation, imports, and reconciliation).
• Coordinate integration and testing (where applicable).
• Plan and support end-user training sessions across departments (live sessions).
• Support go-live planning and execution.
• Coordinate post-go-live stabilization (four weeks) with weekly check-ins.
• Align internal engineering/technical support resources during deployment.

For SIS implementations, the project typically includes approximately 200 structured tasks across 17 milestones, spanning discovery, configuration, data validation, training, and launch readiness.
