 * Collaboration: Communicate progress and questions clearly with your team, respond to messages promptly, and use our communication tools as instructed.
 * Problem Solving: Assist in breaking down tasks into manageable subtasks and learn practical problem-solving techniques with guidance.
 * Quality Mindset: Check your own work for errors, learn to identify basic risk, and follow instructions carefully.
 * Agile Life: Take part in daily stand-ups, sprint ceremonies, and team meetings - practising active listening and beginning to explain your work to others.
 * Continuous Learning: Demonstrate proactive learning and research, ask questions to clarify understanding, and accept feedback gracefully.
