Planning, delivery, validation: you’ll need to prioritise work to maximise business value, apply agile principles pragmatically and collaborate with the team to ensure effective and efficient delivery, while mitigating risks and reducing dependencies
Stakeholders Management: you’ll deal with a broad set of stakeholders, with whom you’ll have to collaborate and nurture trusted relationships to facilitate your team efforts to meet product goals and vision What you'll need
Effective communicator: strong communication skills, both verbal and written, to articulate complex concepts in a way that the targeted audience can follow and understand
System thinker: ability to think from a system point of view, deal with complexity and can manage ambiguity adopting effective approaches
