- Facilitate core delivery routines across Agile and hybrid models (planning, refinement, sprint/release tracking, reviews, retrospectives) with measurable, action-oriented outcomes.
- Establish and maintain delivery visibility and hygiene in Jira, using data to surface trends and early warning signals (e.g., scope churn, defect leakage, cycle time increases, missed dependencies).
- Coordinate releases, deployments, and controlled change activities, ensuring readiness across environments, testing, approvals, communications, operational handoffs, and post-release stabilization.
