• Support the development of practical tools that simplify planning, tracking, reporting and governance activities, prioritised through a clear backlog of team needs.
• Create reusable dashboard views and reporting assets that support consistent portfolio delivery conversations.
• Ensure dashboards and tooling are easy to use, relevant to team needs and aligned to delivery priorities.

• Use Kiro and other approved AI-enabled tools to prototype, test and improve practical delivery enablement solutions.
• Spot opportunities where automation and AI can reduce manual effort, improve decision-making or support delivery routines.
• Support teams in building confidence with AI-enabled ways of working through practical examples and reusable patterns.

Agile Ways of Working

• Support teams to use automated agents, tools and reusable patterns so they can work in a more agile way.

• Review delivery information to help identify patterns, risks, trends and improvement opportunities.
• Support the development of delivery metrics and reporting views that promote transparency and practical action.
• Help stakeholders understand and use data effectively, avoiding reporting for reporting's sake.

• Build strong relationships with stakeholders to ensure tooling and automation supports real delivery needs.
• Communicate complex or technical outputs in a clear, practical and accessible way.
• Role model openness to change, adaptability and a positive approach to evolving ways of working.
