• Partner with product owners and stakeholders to maintain clear, prioritized backlogs
• Track and report on Agile metrics (velocity, burndown, cycle time) to drive continuous improvement
• Identify and remove blockers impacting delivery and team productivity
• Coordinate across cross-functional teams to manage dependencies and delivery risks
