  • Maintain a master schedule across all squads and ensure delivery commitments are met.
  • Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and blockers — and clear them through coordination with leads or ELT sponsors.

    5. Team Empowerment & Culture

  • Ensure engineers, analysts, and data scientists have what they need to succeed — from access permissions to decision clarity.
  • Keep the team grounded in the “2-week experiment mindset”  speed + learning >
  • perfection.

  • Encourage open communication and healthy retrospectives.
  • Reinforce accountability while celebrating wins and learnings.
  • Deliverables : Team health check-ins, sprint retrospectives, morale and engagement tracking.
