 * Support the team in delivering against sprint goals, ensuring work is clear, prioritised, and ready.
 * Identify and remove blockers quickly, coordinating across stakeholders where needed.
 * Maintain visibility of delivery progress and provide clear, honest updates to both the client and internal stakeholders.
 * Coach the team on agile practices and continuously improve ways of working.
 * Encourage strong ownership, accountability, and collaboration within the team.
 * Apply a pragmatic approach to agile delivery, adapting practices to suit the client and team maturity.
