  • Training and Education: Conduct training sessions, workshops, and knowledge-sharing sessions to educate individuals and teams about agile concepts, tools, and techniques. Promote continuous learning and improvement.
  • Change Management: Act as a change agent to promote the agile mindset and cultural transformation across the organization. Collaborate with leadership and stakeholders to align their expectations and ensure their commitment to the agile journey.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Foster strong relationships with stakeholders, including executives, product owners, and external partners, to ensure alignment, collaboration, and support for agile initiatives.
