- Executive View – overall health, major milestones, critical risks, decisions, and delivery confidence.
- Leadership View – program progress, cross-team dependencies, capacity concerns, risks, and upcoming commitments.
- Team View – backlog health, sprint progress, impediments, assigned work, and near-term priorities.
- Define standard status metrics and reporting practices so that project information is timely, consistent, and decision-ready.
- Create and maintain multiple Jira dashboards and status views that provide the right level of information for each audience:
- Coach teams on practical work-management, backlog-management, estimation, prioritization, and status-reporting practices.
- Monitor adoption of the Advanced Vehicle Development work-management approach and identify opportunities to simplify processes and improve execution efficiency.
- Develop concise leadership communications, operating reviews, training materials, and user guidance for Jira and related delivery practices.
- Work with information technology and enterprise tool teams to address Jira integrations, access, data quality, automation, and reporting needs.
- Protect confidential company information and follow applicable General Motors policies and procedures.
