You will contribute to the QBR process and to the high‑level objectives for the upcoming PI planning (enablers). You will help summarise findings into an agreed set of PI solution objectives and validate alignment of the technical directions. You will support teams in defining features and breaking them down into stories. Collaboration You will identify risks related to deviations from standards or innovation.
