The role also involves anticipating, tracking, and resolving risks and impediments to delivery, as well as identifying and addressing complex inter-team technical dependencies. The Technical Project Manager will be proactive in seeking opportunities for improvements to the delivery process, working with relevant teams to redesign process flows as necessary. Consistency across workstreams is crucial, and the Technical Project Manager will develop documentation to ensure ongoing maintenance and development of solutions. Participation in PI planning meetings and other Agile ceremonies is expected, along with facilitating and planning change management and release management activities. The Technical Project Manager will follow and instill documentation best practices to ensure that designs meet all requirements and will monitor compliance with SDLC standards. Regular updates for leadership will be provided, consolidating inputs and facilitating meetings to discuss delivery status and key decisions needed to support project and program delivery.
