+ Oversee configuration control, CDRL documentation, and release management in collaboration with DevSec Ops teams.
+ Coordinate integration planning between Appian applications and backend systems (e.g., SAP ECC, databases, REST APIs).
+ Monitor project risk, budget, and scope, ensuring compliance with contractual deliverables and Federal acquisition requirements.
+ Mentor Appian developers and business analysts, promoting consistent use of Agile metrics, user-story definition, and acceptance-criteria quality.
