- Dependency Mapping: Support the mapping of the current-state application environment, user volume, and site dependencies.
- Lifecycle Documentation: Thoroughly document application ownership, functional cross-over, business criticality, and strategic alignment.
- CMDB Optimization (Stretch Goal): If time permits, collaborate with technical teams to ensure all newly cataloged application Configuration Items (CIs) are properly set up and accurately mapped within the organizational Configuration Management Database (CMDB).
3. Stakeholder Coordination & Executive Reporting
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as the central point of contact to gather application metrics, utilization details, and contractual information from various clinical and administrative stakeholders.
- Executive Deliverables: Support leadership by translating massive datasets into actionable summaries, visual dashboards, presentations, and current-state operational documentation.
- Project Governance: Maintain impeccable project documentation and tracking artifacts throughout the 4-month lifecycle.
