- Manage a fine grained backlog in Pivotal Tracker that drives incremental progress in terms of learning and value
- Organize and facilitate regular project planning meetings, brainstorming sessions, team retrospectives, and other agile team ceremonies
- Monitor, analyze, and discern learnings from qualitative and quantitative data
