• 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.
