• Track sprint progress, team velocity, burn-down charts, and delivery metrics

• Foster a collaborative, self-organizing, and high-performing team environment
• Communicate project status, risks, dependencies, and progress to stakeholders
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment and successful delivery
• Support release planning, roadmap execution, and dependency management
