Roles & Responsibilities

1. Integrated Toolchain Strategy & Architecture
Define the Integrated Toolchain (ITC) vision and architecture aligned with SAP Activate and SAFe delivery model
· Establish end-to-end traceability model across:
o Process (Signavio or equivalent)
o Enterprise Architecture (LeanIX)
o Delivery & backlog (JIRA)
o Test & defect management (CALM/TOSCA)
· Design toolchain integration blueprint ensuring data flow consistency and governance

2. Tool Setup, Configuration & Integration
· Lead setup and configuration of:
o SAP Cloud ALM (CALM) for requirements, testing, defect management, and monitoring
o LeanIX for enterprise architecture and capability mapping
o JIRA for agile backlog and delivery execution
o TOSCA for test automation and regression suites
· Drive integrations across tools:
o CALM ↔ JIRA (defect & work item synchronization) o LeanIX ↔ JIRA/CALM (capability to delivery traceability)
o Ensure traceability from business process → architecture → backlog → test execution

3. Toolchain Governance & Operating Model

· Enable traceability across:
o ART backlogs (JIRA)
o Cross-ART dependencies
o PI objectives and delivery metrics
· Support Solution Train Engineer (STE) and PMO with real-time dashboards and KPIs

5. Analytics, Reporting & Observability
· Implement integrated dashboards for:
o Delivery metrics (velocity, backlog health)
o Testing metrics (coverage, defect leakage)
o Architecture insights (application dependencies via LeanIX)
· Enable real-time monitoring and operations visibility using CALM

6. Stakeholder Management & Enablement
· Engage with Enterprise Architects, PMO, QA/TCOE, Basis, Security teams
· Conduct tool onboarding workshops and training sessions
· Drive adoption across functional teams, system integrators, and business users
