- Capture and translate business and technical needs into clear epics, features, and user stories.
- Configure and maintain Azure DevOps boards, sprints, iterations, dashboards, queries, analytics, and delivery plans.

- Manage team calendars, collaboration cadence, and communications via Microsoft Teams.
- Maintain all position-based Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and update them as needed or requested.
Qualifications
- Proven experience as a Scrum Master, Agile Lead, or Backlog Analyst.
- Strong working knowledge of Azure DevOps and Agile delivery frameworks.
