Responsibilities

• Unblock the team: notice when someone has been stuck on the same thing for two days, and go take a look yourself
• Notice when something one person built should become the version the team uses, and see that change through
• Keep the shared pieces in working order — tested, clear enough for someone else to pick up, and consolidate when three versions of the same thing appear
• Call it when the team is ready to change how it works, rather than waiting for that to happen..
• Reduce how much manual intervention it takes to get a correct release out
• When the same problem shows up twice, get the underlying setup changed so there isn't a third time
• Shift verification left: grow what can be checked automatically so
