* Proactively identify and escalate delivery and technical risks including environment issues, upstream dependencies, API changes, and pipeline failures.
* Drive automated testing adoption, including unit testing, integration testing, API contract validation, and code coverage improvements.
* Track technology modernization initiatives and technical debt, ensuring visibility, prioritization, and progress through the backlog.

* Monitor post-deployment application health using Azure Monitor, Application Insights, and Splunk.
* Shield delivery teams from unnecessary disruptions, scope creep, and external blockers while maintaining transparency with stakeholders.
