  • Understand other engineering and/or business processes and methodologies and can speak intelligently about them and leverage other techniques to provide value to a team/enterprise
  • Understand incremental delivery and the value of metrics
  • Understand backlog tracking, burndown metrics, velocity, and task definition

Qualities you possess...
