• PI Planning: Lead and coordinate Program Increment (PI) planning within the ART, ensuring the prioritized services and features are broken down into manageable tasks for development and operations teams.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with system architects, engineers, DevOps, and operations teams to ensure seamless delivery of services, balancing technical feasibility with customer requirements.

• Innovation and Continuous Improvement: Stay up to date with industry trends and innovations in cloud service management to improve efficiency, performance, and service offerings.
