    • Provide clear guidance and decision-making during project planning to ensure the development teams understand the “what” and “why” behind the work.
    • Collaborate closely with the development teams throughout the project delivery to answer questions, provide clarification, and make timely decisions.
    • Ensure the delivered product increments meet the defined acceptance criteria and quality standards.
