• Define program scope, milestones, roadmap, and delivery plans across multiple engineering, QA, and business teams
• Drive Agile ceremonies and ensure alignment between product, engineering, design, QA, and operations

Requirements & Feature Definition

• Write and groom epics and features grounded in real business use cases, covering business context, user personas, functional and non-functional requirements, dependencies, assumptions, out-of-scope items, and measurable success criteria
• Define clear, testable acceptance criteria (e.g., Given/When/Then) for every feature

Release & Go/No-Go Management

• Own the release process, including release planning, readiness checklists, code freeze, regression and UAT sign-off, and rollback planning
• Facilitate Go/No-Go decisions with objective criteria (defect severity, test coverage, performance, security, and business readiness)
• Coordinate mobile app releases for iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play), including review/approval timelines, phased rollouts, regional/market availability, and hotfix handling
• Ensure mobile features are validated before production through device/OS matrix testing, beta programs (TestFlight, internal/closed tracks), and staged rollout

Observability & Reporting

• Define and monitor delivery and product health metrics: velocity, burn-up/burn-down, defect leakage, cycle time, release success rate, crash-free sessions, and app performance
• Work with engineering on observability (dashboards, alerting, logging, and monitoring) to enable fast post-release detection and response
• Publish regular status reports and executive dashboards (RAG status, milestones, risks, budget, decisions needed) tailored to leadership audiences
