You will own the day-to-day delivery cadence for your engineering team - translating validated product direction into clear, actionable work for your squad. Your ability to break down complex requirements, communicate precisely with engineers, and keep delivery on track will be central to our ability to ship high-quality features at pace., 1. Backlog Ownership & Execution * Own and maintain a well-groomed, prioritized backlog for the Case & Notifications teams, ensuring stories are always ready for the next sprint. * Write clear, detailed user stories, acceptance criteria, and edge-case definitions that give engineers everything they need to build with confidence. * Partner with engineering leads to sequence work in a way that manages dependencies, reduces risk, and maximises delivery throughput. * Track sprint-level commitments, flag blockers early, and drive resolution so that sprint goals are consistently met. 2. Requirements Translation & Refinement * Receive prioritized product direction from Product Management and translate it into granular, implementation-ready requirements. * Facilitate regular refinement sessions with engineers to surface technical questions and close ambiguity before work begins. * Maintain traceability between high-level product goals and individual tickets so the team always understands the "why" behind each piece of work. * Document decisions, assumptions, and out-of-scope items to prevent scope creep and reduce rework. 3. Agile Delivery & Sprint Management * Facilitate and participate in sprint ceremonies - planning, daily stand-up, review, and retrospective - ensuring they are efficient and outcome-focused. * Monitor sprint health in real time and proactively manage scope adjustments when unexpected complexity or blockers arise. * Ensure shipped features meet the acceptance criteria defined at story creation. * Contribute to release planning by providing accurate delivery forecasts and communicating risks to stakeholders in a timely manner. 4. Cross-functional Collaboration * Act as the day-to-day point of contact between the Case & Notifications teams and adjacent teams - including Customer Success, Operations, and other teams. * Attend and contribute to broader product planning forums, representing the execution perspective of the squad. * Surface delivery constraints and technical debt implications to Product Management so that strategic prioritisation decisions are made with full context. * Support go-to-market readiness by collaborating with Customer Success and Marketing on release notes, training materials, and rollout sequencing. 5. Quality, Metrics & Continuous Improvement * Define and track squad-level delivery metrics (cycle time, defect escape rate, sprint goal achievement) and use them to drive targeted improvements. * Champion a culture of quality within the team by advocating for adequate testing, well-defined acceptance criteria, and clean technical practices. * Facilitate retrospectives that yield concrete, measurable process improvements sprint over sprint. * Monitor post-release behaviour of Case & Notifications features alongside Customer Success and feed actionable insights back to the squad. ## Related Videos - [ShapeShift: Reinventing Agile for a B2B SaaS Scale-Up](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1655-shapeshift-reinventing-agile-for-a-b2b-saas-scale-up) - [Resolving technical debts in software architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1680-resolving-technical-debts-in-software-architecture) - [Coffee with Developers - Cassidy Williams - ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/912-coffee-with-developers-cassidy-williams) - [Shaping Up: Rethinking Product Development with Basecamp's Shape Up Methodology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1588-shaping-up-rethinking-product-development-with-basecamp-s-shape-up-methodology) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [The user in the eye of the Cargo1492 storm](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/96-the-user-in-the-eye-of-the-cargo1492-storm) ## Related Articles - [What is product discovery and why do developers need it?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/517-what-is-product-discovery-and-why-do-developers-need-it) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Events like RSAC Get You CISOs.
