· Participate in Agile ceremonies to include Feature hand-down, Feature decomposition, iteration/sprint planning, and iteration/sprint retrospectives providing input and implementing improvements identified as part of the retrospective.

· Compile project results into presentation(s) or user demo(s) suitable for technical and nontechnical audiences and align to items identified in the product backlog.

· Maintain and report on research projects in RTC where Epic, Features, and Stories are kept up to date with status of the work, clarifying comments so that regular status reports can be generated.
