  • Backlog Management: Skilled in prioritizing and refining the product backlog to ensure focus on high-impact tasks.
  • Change Management: Proven ability to manage change by integrating feedback from users and stakeholders into product development, emphasizing a customer-centric approach to encourage adoption and satisfaction.
