• Maintain governance controls to ensure completeness, accuracy, and consistency of TBM inputs and outputs.
• Identify and drive improvements to procedures based on execution outcomes and operational feedback.

• Ensure governance forums and leadership reviews are supported by complete, accurate, and on-time materials.
• Maintain TBM governance documentation, templates, and SharePoint sites as the system of record.
