You have overall responsibility for ensuring delivery and development of the project's products and report to the project owner and steering group while the entire organization looks forward to the project's development. You are overall responsible for the project at a tactical level together with the IT Project Manager. Together, you and with the support of process leaders, project specialists, and employees from relevant operations will develop the project's planning and ensure its execution.
