• Sprint commitment reliability (90%+) across assigned PODs — through facilitation that drives outcomes, not checkbox compliance.
• Impediment removal with urgency: team-level blockers resolved within one business day; cross-POD blockers within two. Visible impediment log maintained at all times.
• Systemic problem diagnosis — identify root causes behind recurring blockers and elevate with solution recommendations, not just flags.
• Cross-functional dependency coordination 2+ sprints ahead, partnering with Product, QA, and Engineering to prevent integration failures before they happen.

• AI-powered delivery improvements — use Claude Enterprise, Git Hub Copilot, and similar tools to accelerate retrospectives, planning, documentation, and process optimization.
• Delivery health reporting to leadership — velocity, cycle time, sprint commitment reliability, and Definition of Done compliance with clear trend analysis.
• Team agile maturity — coach teams toward higher autonomy, sustainable pace, and measurable improvement in quality and engagement over time.

• Must have and be able to demonstrate outcomes as an Agile Delivery Lead in software engineering — measured by team metrics, not tenure.
• Expert-level proficiency in Scrum and Kanban; daily hands-on use of Jira and Confluence.
• Strong facilitation, conflict resolution, and stakeholder influence skills — with a bias toward action and accountability.
• Technical fluency across mobile (iOS/Android), backend services, APIs, SDKs, and firmware – able to engage engineers credibly.
• Active AI tool user (Claude Enterprise, Git Hub Copilot, or equivalent) with the ability to demonstrate productivity gains.
