• Support Sprint Review Reports and demonstrations of working software to CMS stakeholders, including case management, knowledge integration, AI features, and external system integrations.

• Ensure product decisions account for Section 508 accessibility, security, and FedRAMP compliance requirements.

• Manage and document methods of communication, prioritization, and decision-making to ensure seamless collaboration across Product, Engineering, and CMS teams.

• Actively participate in planning sessions, requirements gathering activities, design sessions, Agile modeling sessions, and other events supporting the CRM modernization.
