• Risk & Issue Management: Identify potential delivery risks early, escalate appropriately, and facilitate proactive mitigation. Ensure that remediation activities adhere to governance frameworks and meet audit standards.
• Coaching & Mentorship: Mentor Scrum team members, Product Owners, and stakeholders on Agile best practices and SAFe adoption, building organizational agility and self-managing teams.
