What you will demonstrate

Prepare like the role is already yours.

  • Produces an IT business case, project charter, requirements, roadmap, and integrated plan.
  • Uses IT project delivery, requirements traceability, SDLC, Agile, Waterfall or hybrid, and critical-path planning with appropriate safeguards.
  • Partners effectively with sponsor, users, and change leads.
  • Balances scope, milestone, critical-path, budget, vendor, and dependency performance.
  • Guards against committing before architecture, security, integration, environment, or vendor dependencies are understood; accepting critical defects; migrating without reconciliation and rollback; or launching without operational ownership, continuity, and benefits evidence.
