  • Must be able to lead and demonstrate value-add principles to a team (Facilitative).
  • Must be vigilant for issues as they arise, and elevate them to management with transparency (Situationally Aware).
  • Must be able to ensure Agile/Scrum concepts and principles are adhered to, acknowledged as a voice of reason and authority, unafraid to make tough calls (Assertive). 
  • Must be focused on encouraging an improvement culture within the team, improvement of oneself and the team capabilities (Continual improvement).
  • Must encourage diversity of views, promote health conflict, be able to facilitate discussion, focus on solving through a variety of approaches (Conflict resolution).
