Promote Continuous Delivery: Collaborate with DevOps teams to foster a culture of continuous integration and automated quality practices.

Strategic Alignment: Partner with Business Owners to assign business value and ensure the ART remains aligned with Enterprise Strategy and cascaded OKRs.

Relentless Improvement: Utilize AgilityInsights and TeamHealth assessments to drive the ART improvement roadmap and support the Lean-Agile Center of Excellence (LACE).
