- Partner with leadership to develop reporting structures that align business work tracking with broader engineering and delivery metrics
- Help teams distinguish and track funded project work versus BAU/support activities for reporting and governance purposes
- Configure and maintain Jira boards, workflows, custom fields, labels, and dashboards to support evolving business requirements
- Provide recommendations regarding process improvements and pragmatic agile adoption strategies appropriate for non-traditional agile environments
- Support teams operating within hybrid delivery models where work may not follow standard sprint-based development practices
- Serve as a trusted advisor to stakeholders by promoting process consistency, operational transparency, and reporting accuracy
- Facilitate standups and Scrum-related meetings as needed to support team continuity and delivery oversight
- Maintain a flexible and collaborative approach within an evolving organizational structure and delivery model
