Serve as a subject matter expert on the product (or part of the product) that the sprint teams own, including high level functions of the technology, its dependencies, and impacts.
Coordinate sprint demos and write reports that demonstrate the value that the sprint teams are delivering.
Collaborate with Product Owners (POs) to define the sprint teams’ overarching mission, refining it into initiatives (high-level goals and plans), bets (specific changes to the product), and metrics (evidence that an outcome delivered the expected value).
