- Coordinate with appropriate stakeholders to ensure ITFRs and Program/IMS Milestones are mapped to the Features responsible for satisfying or supporting them.
- Conduct recurring traceability and data-quality reviews to identify and drive resolution of orphaned, missing, duplicate, or incorrectly linked work items.

- Collaborate with LPM, Product Management, RTEs, Product Owners, Business Analysts, Architects, and other stakeholders to resolve backlog and traceability gaps.
