• Evaluate APIs, data integration plans, and existing software capabilities within the IT and Transportation Tech markets to determine buy-vs-build strategies.
• Communication
• Establish and enforce a protocol for consistent and detailed documentation for all developed solutions to be used by both internal and external resources (GDOT and suppliers).
• Document and present status updates to stakeholders and management
• Continuous Process Improvement & Documentation
• Identify opportunities to optimize the IT project intake, evaluation, and prioritization processes using data-driven insights.
• Develop, standardize, and maintain guidelines, templates, operating procedures, and training materials to help business users submit high-quality project requests.
• Draft formal technical policies, agency guidance documentation, and system regulations for management approval within assigned timeframes.
