You will report to the delegated Project Authority and participate in a scaled agile delivery model supporting multiple product streams.
The dynamic and iterative nature of registries modernization may require flexibility in sprint planning and cross‐team collaboration to accommodate the rapid evolution of product features, integration patterns, and platform capabilities.
