- Enforce documentation standards and naming conventions across the project repository.
- Ensure all documents are reviewed, approved, and stored in designated repositories (SharePoint, Confluence, Google Drive).
- Maintain an audit trail for all decisions, approvals, and scope changes.
- Develop and update process flows, SOPs, and knowledge-base articles as required.
6. Risk & Issue Management
- Identify, assess, document, and track risks and issues in the RAID log.
- Develop mitigation strategies and contingency plans in collaboration with stakeholders.
