The role manages sprint execution, resource and capacity allocation, delivery tracking, team performance, dependencies, and risks/issues, ensuring that each Scrum pod has the resources, priorities, and support required to deliver its committed scope.
Working closely with the Program Manager, Engineering Leader, Business Analysts, Product Owners, and technical teams, the role coordinates cross-pod dependencies, removes delivery blockers, monitors progress, and drives timely corrective actions.
The Engineering Manager / Project Manager provides day-to-day direction to the QA Lead, DevOps Lead, and delivery pods, ensuring effective coordination across development, testing, CI/CD, infrastructure, deployment, and release activities.
