  • Work in tandem with the project management office (PMO) to ensure that execution aligns with project promises.
  • Provide consulting support to application architects to guarantee alignment with the overarching enterprise architecture.
  • Deliver essential documentation such as standard definitions, reference models, and architectural designs to support governance and assess the impact of technology investments.
