   Develop a cut-over plan, detailing activities required for a seamless transition from legacy systems to Symphony.
   Manage go-live readiness, ensuring all stakeholders are aligned and prepared for deployment.

4. Customization & Implementation Oversight:
   Collaborate with technical teams to configure Symphony based on client requirements, managing both out-of-the-box and customized implementations.
   Identify gaps in product functionality and coordinate with the engineering and product teams for required enhancements.
   Support data migration, API integrations, and third-party system compatibility checks as part of the implementation process.
   Ensure comprehensive training and knowledge transfer for end-users to maximize adoption.
5. Risk Management & Quality Assurance:
   Identify potential risks early in the project and proactively implement mitigation strategies.
   Monitor project progress, ensuring quality control and adherence to project requirements.
