Responsibilities
Core UAT Strategy and Execution
Define Test Scenarios Aligned with Business Requirements: Partner with business analysts and solution architects to translate requirements into comprehensive, real-world test cases
Plan and Execute Test Cases & Scenarios: Develop the overall UAT strategy, detailed plans, timelines, and resourcing models required for successful execution
Prepare Test Environment and Data: Oversee the setup of the dedicated UAT environment and the preparation of representative test data
Execute Tests, Log Results, and Fix Defects: Lead the execution of UAT, managing the testing schedule, coordinating business testers, and ensuring all results are accurately logged and defects are triaged and prioritized
Capture and Prioritize Feedback/Defects: Implement a rigorous defect management process, collaborating with technical teams for timely resolution
Validate Migration Outcomes against Requirements: For migration projects, define the validation matrix to confirm successful data and functionality transfer
Test Readiness and Training Validation: Integrate the UAT process with the Change Management workstream. Use UAT testing cycles to validate the effectiveness of training materials and enablement sessions (e.g., test scripts should mirror training content)
Feedback Loop for Adoption: Ensure UAT testers are properly debriefed to capture early feedback on user experience, process friction, and potential adoption roadblocks. Communicate these findings directly to the Change Management Lead for inclusion in resistance management and communications plans
Risk Mitigation: Proactively report UAT status and defect trends to the Change Management team, allowing them to adjust communications and resistance management strategies based on technical risks identified during testing
Obtain Final Business Sign-Off for Go-Live: Own the formal process for achieving final UAT sign-off. Present clear, data-driven evidence to executive stakeholders that the solution meets all business acceptance criteria and is ready for production deployment
Business Readiness Confirmation: Collaborate with the Change Management Lead to confirm that both the system (via UAT sign-off) and the people (via training and adoption readiness checks) are prepared for the transition
Manage Customer Relationships and Stakeholder Alignment: Act as a primary point of contact for key business stakeholders during UAT, maintaining strong, collaborative relationships throughout the workstream
Customer Success Criteria Management: Actively partner with the customer to define, track, and ensure alignment with stated business success criteria and key performance indicators (KPIs) beyond initial UAT sign-off, ensuring the delivered solution drives expected business value
Post-Go-Live Feedback Loop: Institute a structured process for gathering post-deployment feedback from business users to identify areas for optimization and ongoing service opportunities
