Key accountabilities and decision ownership
• Analyse Phase:
Organise and drive fit/gap analysis meetings with Business Stakeholder, Global Process Owner/Lead, System Integrator, Centre of Excellence and Process Governance team. Identify gaps between local requirements and Core Business Model for SCM and classify these gaps – i.e. business critical, TLS requirement or localisation. Work on and propose resolutions for each gap with the overall aim to minimise deviations from the Core Business Model for SCM. Ensure that deadlines for the official sign-off of the related analyse phase documents and the closure of the analyse phase itself are met.
• Design Phase
Ensure that the System Integrator fully understands the business requirements. Support the SI in following up and resolving any open questions with the Business Stakeholder and any other internal or external party involved.
Perform functional specification, technical specification and PTC test script document reviews within agreed SLA’s. Be accountable for all checks related to ‘detailed level solution design’. Ensure that Solution Manager principles and guidelines are adhered to.
• Build & Test Phase
Support the Business Stakeholder and the Global Test Team in the creation of UAT test scripts. Ensure that these test scripts cover the entire end-to-end process but also include test cases for local deviations from the Core Business Model for SCM. Perform Product Manager inspections checks after completion of the build phase and prior to the start of UAT. The aim of these tests is to identify defects prior to UAT, to perform usability checks and finally to ensure that the solution meets Vodafone’s expectations with regards to quality and performance.
• Go-live Phase
Provide on-site support to the Business Stakeholder and liaise with all internal and external teams involved prior to and during the go-live phase. Become the ‘go to’ person for all business-related issues identified after go-live and facilitate issue resolution within agreed SLA’s.
