- Being a positive force for the squad, promoting the vision, ensuring everyone understands the why and educating the squads about the business and its needs
- Manage scope dependencies within the Tribe in collaboration with the team, Scrum Master and other Product Owners
- Engage with the Squad, constructively challenge, and provide continuous feedback to ensure the squad output meets requirements. Stay actively involved throughout the delivery, supporting where possible through clarifying objectives, etc.
- Participate in sprint demos and demonstrate how squad deliveries contribute towards Tribe OKRs
- Work closely with technology leadership to align Technology Vision and Product Vision into a single product roadmap
- Manage scope and business-related risks, issues and mitigations
- Participate alongside the Scrum Master in squad-level ceremonies
