• Foster the team habits that make agile as a practice, to raise blockers toward shipping working software with documentation and clear Definitions of Done.

• Develop risk mitigation plans and monitor their implementation.
• Facilitate regular project status meetings and communicate progress, constraints, and issues clearly and concisely to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
