o Coach teams on AI-DLC practices, required artifacts, stage gates, delivery expectations, and responsible AI considerations throughout the delivery lifecycle
o Coordinate governance workflows, reviews, approvals, risk documentation, evidence collection, stakeholder inputs, and follow-up actions needed to advance AI initiatives
o Use AI to organize governance requirements, prepare review materials, summarize decisions, track open questions, and keep project teams aligned on compliance obligations
o Ensure alignment between business objectives, technical solutions, governance timelines, delivery milestones, and operational readiness expectations
Stakeholder Alignment, Communication & Change Enablement
o Bridge business, technical, governance, and operational perspectives, ensuring stakeholders share a clear understanding of scope, priorities, decisions, and trade-offs
o Create concise communications, training materials, rollout plans, stakeholder updates, and adoption support for new AI-enabled capabilities
o Facilitate decision-making by turning complex delivery, governance, and requirements questions into clear options, recommendations, and next steps
Success Measures
o Delivers clear, actionable, implementation-ready requirements that reduce rework and accelerate engineering execution
o Improves delivery predictability by keeping backlogs, dependencies, risks, blockers, and decisions visible and actively managed
o Helps teams successfully navigate AI-DLC and governance requirements without slowing delivery momentum
