Job Description


Key Responsibilities
Scrum Events & Facilitation

Facilitate iteration planning, daily team syncs, iteration reviews/demos, and retrospectives so they are purposeful, timeboxed, and outcome‑oriented; ensure prep materials (backlog, capacity, acceptance criteria) are ready and decisions/actions are captured.
Team Coaching & Enablement
Coach 1–2 product teams on Agile mindset and practices (Scrum, Kanban, Hybrid) with an emphasis on flow, predictability, and quality; grow teams from learning to self‑sustaining maturity.
Facilitate and observe events and day‑to‑day work to provide targeted coaching (teach, coach, mentor, or step back) that builds confidence and capability over time.
Product Ways of Working
Partner with Product Managers/Owners to improve backlog quality, prioritization, and acceptance criteria, ensuring a steady flow of ready work and demo‑worthy increments.
Audit Azure DevOps boards/backlog for Definition of Ready/Done compliance, acceptance criteria completeness, and status hygiene; coach PO/Team to sustain quality and transparency.
Partner with Quality Engineers to integrate testing into flow, agree quality signals, and review defects in retrospectives to prevent recurrence.
Flow, Metrics & Continuous Improvement
Use actionable metrics (e.g., Flow Time, WIP, predictability, quality signals) to diagnose bottlenecks and guide iterative improvements; make data visible and useful.
Maintain and socialize team dashboards (burnup, CFD, predictability, quality) and publish iteration summaries to stakeholders; translate insights into targeted improvement actions owned by the team.
Impediments & RAIDs
Continuously surface and remove impediments; maintain visible RAIDs; escalate cross‑team blockers and partner with the appropriate stakeholders for timely resolution.
Program & System Level Contribution
Represent the team in Syncs/Scrum‑of‑Scrums; prepare teams for System Demos; support Inspect & Adapt by consolidating improvement items and tracking ownership to closure.
