A day in the life

You check in with teams developing products, talking to technical leads and engineers. Unexpected results in a recent test lead you to dig in to understand the issue better, huddle with relevant engineers and partner teams to formulate hypotheses for the issue, and test to validate them.

Working with technical leads, you add roadmap items to validate hypotheses in the next development sprint, informing downstream customers of potential impact.

You then write a document for senior leadership, focusing on recent progress and major decisions made, defining measures of success, elevating risks and how you plan to mitigate them.
