Work you'll do

• Validate Program Increment outcomes and make real-time trade-off decisions; own release go/no-go decisions based on acceptance criteria.
• Measure business outcomes post-release and incorporate feedback and lessons learned into the roadmap and backlog.
• Manage and coach Technical Product Owners on customer-centric prioritization (value vs. effort), providing day-to-day people leadership, performance management, and career development.
