• Legacy Assessment: Review existing legacy reports to systematically decide whether to retire, consolidate, or rebuild them within Workday.
• Demand Management: Challenge and prioritize incoming requests against actual business value, data availability, and standard Workday features.
• Traceability \& Sign\-Off: Maintain a rigorous requirements inventory and traceability matrix across the development lifecycle, securing formal business sign\-off at delivery milestones.
• Data Integrity: Proactively flag data quality anomalies and process gaps to relevant technical and functional workstreams.

Workday Report Design \& Configuration (\~80%)

• Integration Support: Build robust Reports\-as\-a\-Service (RaaS) and Workday Web Services (SOAP/REST) to serve as stable data sources for downstream integration layers.
• Security \& Output: Correctly configure report sharing, scheduling, bursting, and automated delivery formats while ensuring absolute adherence to Workday domain and business process security boundaries.
• Performance Tuning: Troubleshoot reporting defects and optimize execution times for high\-volume data pulls.

Testing, Deployment \& Governance

• End\-to\-End Testing: Generate unit test evidence, lead System Integration Testing (SIT), and orchestrate Business Acceptance Testing (BAT/UAT) while managing defect remediation.
• Release Management: Migrate developed reports seamlessly across Workday tenants utilizing Object Transporter, Solution Migration, or equivalent tools.
• Governance Framework: Help refine and enforce the Workday Reporting Governance Framework regarding systemic intake, lifecycle management, and asset ownership.
• Documentation: Author functional and technical design documents alongside an enterprise\-level report catalog.

Knowledge Transfer \& Post\-Launch Support

• Capacity Building: Upskill and train designated internal report writers and power users on standard practices and ad\-hoc report writing.
• Hypercare: Provide dedicated post\-go\-live hypercare support, facilitating a clean handover to the long\-term application support team.
