    • Facilitate Agile/Scrum ceremonies, including Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Backlog Refinement, Sprint Reviews, and Retrospectives.
    • Work with Product Owners and Business Analysts to improve backlog organization and readiness.
    • Guide and support teams as they transition toward more structured Scrum and Agile delivery practices.
    • Monitor and track project and development activities using Azure DevOps Boards or similar tools.
    • Support developers and technical teams performing ongoing ticket-based work.
    • Coordinate release planning, sequencing, dependencies, and delivery readiness.
    • Support modernization initiatives involving microservices and API-driven architectures.

    Required Qualifications:

    • 8+ years of project management experience in technical environments using both Waterfall and Agile methodologies.
    • Strong experience managing modernization and/or cloud-related projects.
    • Strong understanding of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) methodologies and practices.
    • 7+ years of experience working closely with development, QA, engineering, and other technical teams.
    • 8+ years of experience with Scrum methodologies and Agile delivery practices.
    • Demonstrated experience facilitating Scrum ceremonies and supporting maturing Agile teams.
    • Strong experience with Azure DevOps, including Boards, work tracking, backlog visibility, and delivery monitoring, or similar tools.
    • Experience with Microsoft Planner Premium or similar project management tools.
    • Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Visio, and other Microsoft Office tools.
    • Strong project planning, scheduling, resource management, risk management, and dependency-management skills.
