Communicate project status, risks, and roadblocks to both internal teams and clients. Provide regular project progress reports and manage deliverable tracking. Client Liaison & Communication: Act as the primary liaison between the client and the development team. Ensure that the client s requirements are well-understood by the development team, and manage communication between both parties to resolve any issues that arise during development. Agile Methodology & Project Execution: Work in Agile/Scrum environments to ensure that the development process follows best practices and timelines. Create and manage user stories, sprint planning, and backlog grooming sessions, while also supporting the testing phase and ensuring user acceptance. Proposal Creation & Documentation: Assist in the preparation of project proposals and ensure that technical specifications, timelines, and costs are clearly defined. Create detailed documentation for internal use and client-facing deliverables, such as functional requirements and progress reports.

Build and manage KPIs for tracking software performance and project milestones, ensuring that metrics align with business objectives and client expectations. Quality Assurance & Testing: Work closely with the QA team to ensure that the software meets both functional and business requirements. Coordinate and support user acceptance testing (UAT), ensuring the client s requirements are met and the system is fully validated. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Process Improvement: Partner with cross-functional teams, including development, testing, and deployment teams, to ensure smooth project execution. Continuously assess and recommend improvements to project processes and workflows. Client Support & Post-Implementation: Support clients post-implementation, assisting with training, troubleshooting, and providing technical support as needed. Ensure smooth project handover and provide recommendations for system optimization.
