  • Track Agile metrics to support transparency and continuous improvement decisions.
  • Act as a senior Agile advocate sharing best practices and coaching.
  • Experience coaching Product Owners on Agile responsibilities for backlog creation, refinement, and prioritization; writing effective user stories and acceptance criteria; coordination and timely completion of user acceptance testing efforts.

4. Strategy and Task Execution

  • Plan and accomplish goals independently; handle multifaceted problems with creativity and latitude expected of senior practitioners.
  • Argue for necessary changes to workflows, team composition, sprint plans, and organizational practices to improve quality and timeliness of deliverables.
