- Coaching, Mentoring, and Standards: Coach Scrum Masters, Product Owners, tech leads, and team members in Agile/SAFe principles and practices. Develop and maintain program-level Agile process standards.

- Alignment Across Task Orders and Shared Services: Ensure each task order's Agile approach aligns with the broader program governance model and the customer Agile maturity model. Support integration points between teams.

- Tooling, Automation, and Workflow Optimization: Own the approach to Agile tooling to ensure consistent usage and configuration across teams. Partner with the Solution Architect and Task Order (TO) Tech leads to streamline workflows.

- Customer and Stakeholder Engagement on Ways of Working: Help explain Agile/SAFe approach, cadence, and metrics to customer stakeholders and align expectations around iterative delivery.
