- Act as the scrum team point of escalation, identifying, managing, and escalating blockers or risks that could jeopardize delivery, coordinating with the Tech Lead.
- Monitor and report delivery progress, maintaining transparent tracking (e.g., Jira dashboards, burn-downs, delivery KPIs) and sharing concise updates with the Tech Lead.
- Enforce Agile discipline according to defined standards, ensuring backlog hygiene, Definition of Done, test coverage, and quality gates are respected.
- Documentation Traceability:
- Produce and maintain technical/functional documentation, capturing specifications, architecture notes, and system behavior in clear, structured deliverables.
- Ensure full traceability by linking requirements, stories, defects, tests, and releases in Jira/ALM tools to guarantee auditability and compliance.
- Coordinate documentation contributions, consolidating and harmonizing inputs from developers, testers, and architects into consistent documents.
- Lead document review and approval cycles, organizing review sessions, collecting feedback, managing versions, and securing sign-offs.
- Governance, Quality & Continuous Improvement:
- Support release readiness and handover to testing/DevOps teams, verifying that test evidence, defect logs, and deliverables are complete before releases.
- Maintain knowledge repositories, keeping Confluence/SharePoint structured, updated, and easily navigable for the team and stakeholders.
- Capture lessons learned and improvements, documenting sprint/release learnings and integrating them into future delivery practices.
- Coach the team on delivery excellence, promoting accountability, ownership, and continuous improvement mindsets within the team.
- Guarantee compliance with defined standards, ensuring all documentation, processes, and deliveries meet internal, contractual, and regulatory requirements.
