• Organise essential meetings for efficient and effective delivery.
• Leverage your technical background to understand team challenges and provide input where necessary.

• Partner with architects and leads to ensure value-driven and quality-focused delivery.
• Train and mentor development teams on Agile values, principles, and practices.
• Create a collaborative environment that encourages open dialogue and conflict resolution.
• Champion continuous improvement initiatives to enhance productivity and remove impediments.

• Proficient in scaled Agile frameworks like SAFe and LeSS desirable.
• Demonstrated success in building genuinely Agile teams within large-scale enterprises
• In-depth knowledge of DevSecOps methodologies.
• Proven ability to facilitate productive sessions with diverse stakeholders, promoting collaborative decision making.
