Improve triage efficiency and ensure incoming cases are appropriately assessed, valued, and routed within established timelines. Maintain a delivery-ready backlog that supports effective sprint planning and predictable execution. Act as the primary day-to-day product contact for the delivery team, resolving requirement gaps, priority conflicts, and blockers. Facilitate test planning and perform user acceptance testing against acceptance criteria and real-world workflows. Ensure release notes, documentation, and internal enablement materials are complete, accurate, and ready for launch. Partner with Client Services on change communications and monitor post-release adoption and feedback to identify follow-up opportunities.
