Azure DevOps Discipline and Delivery Reporting

- Hands-on Azure DevOps experience with boards, backlogs, queries, dashboards and delivery analytics.
- Experience coaching fully remote, cross-functional teams across time zones.
- Confidence challenging unclear work, unrealistic commitments and non-compliance, and securing follow-through.

- A recognised Scrum or Agile certification, backed by practical experience.
- Experience coordinating multiple projects or product backlogs.
Competencies and Behaviours
