## Description

Every hour of every day, soldiers, acquisition professionals, and federal partners around the world count on systems that simply cannot go down. That is where PL ALTESS comes in. As the Agile Center of Excellence for the Program Executive Office Enterprise (PEO Enterprise), the U.S. Army Product Lead Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology Enterprise Systems and Services (PL ALTESS) runs enterprise-class data centers that host hundreds of programs, thousands of virtual servers, and millions of users worldwide, 24x7x365.

If you want your work to matter at mission scale, this is the place.

 * Gather requirements, estimate level of effort (LOE), and draft development stories.
 * Facilitate backlog reviews and sprint planning meetings.

 * Communicate project status directly to customers, and work with dev teams to find improvements and efficiencies.
