Guide, mentor, and coach technical leads, RTEs, Scrum Masters, and other Agile leaders in Lean-Agile systems engineering practices.
Drive continuous improvement by identifying process improvements, facilitating retrospectives, and implementing actionable improvement plans.
Adapt Agile practices to support the needs of a complex, cyber-focused DoD program.
Partner with program leadership and stakeholders to keep delivery aligned with contractual, technical, security, and mission objectives.
