• Sign off on SPAU/SPDD completion in Development, and validate that break-fix transport retrofits into BW/4HANA DEV remain aligned with the parallel legacy landscape.

Testing, Cutover & Go-Live

• Drive the overall testing strategy: Unit Testing, SIT, Performance Benchmarking, Full Mock Migration, Dress Rehearsal and UAT.
• Oversee multi-level automated data reconciliation (record count, aggregates, key figures) at every mock cycle and at production cutover, using the Report Validator accelerator.
• Define and execute the Soft Freeze and Hard Freeze governance framework in the lead-up to production cutover.
• Lead the production cutover and manage the ~30-hour cutover window across Basis, BW, Infrastructure and Business teams; serve as the on-site decision-maker for go / no-go and rollback.
