Affiliate Integration
- Translate backlog and budget model for affiliates; define how affiliate requests and capacity are reflected in product setup.
- Clarify role of business partner management (PO vs. BPB) in representing affiliates.
- Ensure SLAs for digital services and balance group uniformity vs. affiliate specific needs.
Affiliate Governance & Communication
- Define update mechanisms for affiliates (ceremonies, frequency, format) and escalation paths for conflicting priorities.
- Align PCE governance with the golden gate process.
- Develop onboarding and communication plans, including training and FAQs.
- Monitor adoption and refine governance practices.
Profile
