- Proactively identify risks to the deliverable and eliminate/mitigate these risks proactively.

- Unblock all teams, who may get stuck.

- Track, on a real-time basis, the activities and milestones, and ensure nothing misses the committed timeline.

- Be entrepreneurial and be willing to wear multiple hats (if need be) to cover for lack of expertise/skills/competencies in any part of the E2E chain.
