Spot scope changes and new needs, bringing them to the Account Executive as qualified opportunities. Support renewal readiness by documenting delivered value and open commitments. **Measurement and Reporting:** Define and track program success metrics including on-time and on-budget delivery, use cases in production, consumption, adoption, value realized, and customer satisfaction. Report program status, results, and risks to customers and UiPath leadership in clear, consistent formats.
