You will also play a crucial role in teaching teams and their stakeholders about essential concepts like flow, Kanban, collaboration, and systems thinking. By facilitating sessions focused on team dynamics, you will help build trust, accountability, and psychological safety, ensuring that all team members feel valued and heard. Additionally, you will champion change and knowledge management efforts around the program's purpose and progress, ensuring that the teams' existing processes are preserved while navigating the complexities of a larger initiative.
