  • Coordinate cross-team dependencies and support release planning, demonstrations, testing readiness, and incremental delivery activities.
  • Help the team maintain agreed working practices, quality expectations, and a clear Definition of Done.
  • Promote data-informed retrospectives and follow through on measurable improvement actions.
  • Maintain concise delivery artifacts, including team boards, impediment and risk logs, dependency tracking, action items, and stakeholder updates.
  • Ensure Agile delivery activities and team artifacts align with applicable federal IT governance requirements, including the HHS Enterprise Performance Life Cycle (EPLC), required reviews, deliverables, approvals, and stage-gate expectations.

  • Working knowledge of federal IT governance and project lifecycle controls, including supporting compliance with HHS EPLC documentation, review, approval, and stage-gate requirements.
  • Ability to track and communicate delivery metrics, risks, dependencies, decisions, and action items clearly.
  • Strong facilitation, communication, conflict-resolution, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with business, technical, operational, vendor, and government stakeholders.
