• Capture demonstration feedback, decisions, and resulting backlog or action-item updates.
• Prepare, maintain, and submit Development Sprint Plans in accordance with program requirements.
• Prepare Sprint Summary Reports documenting accomplishments, incomplete work, testing, integration outcomes, demonstrations, feedback, risks, dependencies, and planned follow-up.
• Track and analyze delivery metrics, including sprint predictability, throughput, cycle time, work aging, impediments, defects, and commitment completion.

• Coordinate with requirements analysts to ensure user stories, interface requirements, data requirements, and acceptance criteria are clear, testable, traceable, and ready for implementation.
• Coordinate with developers, integration engineers, testers, cybersecurity personnel, and release teams to support secure development, integration, verification, and deployment.
• Support backlog prioritization and the expedited handling of urgent defects, failed integrations, or security-related changes.
