Own team level delivery governance and predictability, ensuring clear goals, realistic planning, and transparent signals on scope, risks, and progress. Ensure work is visible, prioritised, and flowing through the system (e.g., backlogs, boards, WIP limits). Help teams create realistic sprint goals or flow targets and meet commitments sustainably. Define and maintain team level delivery metrics (e.g., throughput, cycle time, defect trends; DORA metrics where appropriate). Identify and make visible impediments impacting throughput or quality - both within and outside the team - and drive resolution in partnership with Engineering, Product, TPMs, and Product Operations.
