Identify, manage and remove delivery impediments, improve team flow and predictability, support capacity and release planning, coordinate cross-squad dependencies and help squads balance pace, quality, and operational resilience.
Mentor squad members, product owners and stakeholders in agile practices, facilitate collaborative problem-solving, challenge ineffective ways of working and ensure improvement actions arising from retrospectives, delivery data and feedback are owned and delivered.
