• Process Standardization: Act as the ADO subject matter expert to establish “Best Practices” for branching strategies, pull request workflows, and sprint tracking.
• Collaboration: Work closely with Scrum Masters andուղ Product Owners to translate project management requirements into functional ADO configurations.
