Maintain comprehensive project documentation: plans, decisions, meeting notes, and lessons learned.
Enforce key quality checkpoints such as requirements sign‑off, test readiness, and release criteria.
Develop clear, executive‑ and client‑ready reports and dashboards covering scope, schedule, cost, and risks.
