Remain knowledgeable of the Workday roadmap and upcoming product releases, reviewing release notes, assessing new features and understanding the impacts to business processes and basic changes in functionality.
Escalate any policy or process conflicts to Platform Manager.
Participate in project scoping activities by collaborating with key Workday platform stakeholders, and at times campus partners, to assess integrations, define configurations, plan security and data needs, and support Workday Extend solutions—ensuring technical alignment, feasibility, and compliance with institutional goals.
