• Assess team practices and delivery routines to identify capability gaps, and create targeted coaching plans with clear development outcomes and measures of success.
• Support teams by interpreting the Agile framework, reinforcing clarity, and identifying common adoption barriers that should inform future training, playbook, or framework updates.
• Provide functional leadership, direction, mentoring, and quality oversight to Agile Coaches and/or Scrum Masters, aligning coaching priorities and team support to the Agile framework, adoption roadmap, to promote consistent, high-quality practices.
• Define and deliver role-based training for practitioners, project teams, and business stakeholders to support consistent adoption of the Agile framework and playbook.

• Deliver onboarding and refresher sessions that help practitioners understand and apply the Agile framework, playbook, templates, and ceremonies consistently.
• Help teams apply Agile delivery practices while meeting AltaGas financial controls, risk management, testing, change management, and transition-to-operations requirements.
• Assess the effectiveness and usability of Agile practices, templates, and governance touchpoints, then recommend pragmatic improvements.
• Facilitate retrospectives, lessons-learned sessions, health checks, value-stream discussions, and improvement workshops.
• Define and maintain Agile adoption and delivery measures, such as flow, cycle time, throughput, predictability, quality, and delivery confidence, and integrate meaningful insights into portfolio and leadership reporting.
