Drive test script production and loading into the agreed test management tool. Run defect governance and triage with delivery partners, tracking trends and closure. Produce clear testing status reporting and readiness recommendations for Go/No-Go.

Cutover

Essential experience

Proven contract/consulting background leading Workday testing and cutover workstreams. Strong Workday Launch / Accelerated Launch delivery experience.
