• Prioritizing backlog items based on their value and communicating that prioritization to the team.
• Accepting stories that meet the Definition of Done, assuring built-in quality.
• Collaborating with System Architects to support the Architectural Runway.

Guiding Value Delivery: During iteration execution, act as the primary customer proxy within the team, providing daily insights to guide development towards high-value outputs by:

• Balancing stakeholder perspectives to make implementation decisions that deliver the best outcomes.
• Collaborating with the team to elaborate on stories and manage dependencies.
• Fostering Built-in Quality by regularly evaluating the value delivered and ensuring compliance with quality criteria.
• Actively participate in team and ART events, offering a customer-centric perspective on the team's work.

Feedback and Continuous Improvement: Responsible for maximizing value, which requires understanding what constitutes value by:
