• Combine strong delivery discipline with a product mindset to achieve predictable outcomes without sacrificing agility
• Drive sprint hygiene including estimation, planning, grooming, and velocity tracking, targeting 95%+ sprint commitment delivery
• Identify and manage dependencies, risks, and resource contention with proactive mitigation strategies

Engage Stakeholders

• Serve as the single source of truth for delivery status across your areas
• Translate programme health into action-oriented updates for senior stakeholders
