4 Scope of Services

The candidate will provide part-time
business subject-matter expert (SME) support to the OWPB Systems Support team
in connection with the Foundation for the OWPB (Office of Work Program
and Budget) Refactoring, Growth & Evolution
(FORGE)
initiative. The candidate's primary
responsibility is to review brownfield documentation produced by the OWPB
Systems Support team and contribute deep institutional knowledge of OWPB's
Federal Aid, Obligation Authority (OA), Advance Construction (AC), Schedule
A, and Financial Management business processes.

The candidate will read and provide
annotated review comments on documentation drafts, identify business-rule
gaps and inaccuracies, clarify legacy system behavior and its underlying
federal/state funding rationale, and participate in working sessions with the
FORGE delivery team to transfer business context. The candidate will
not
author
deliverables or lead documentation production but rather review and provide
expert knowledge and comments on critical legacy processes. The candidate can
engage with stakeholders outside the OWPB Systems Support team as necessary.

This engagement is structured to retain and
transfer OWPB business knowledge into FORGE documentation artifacts that will
be produced and maintained by the OWPB Systems Support team.
