Walk me through a typical day in your current role.

I am an agile release train engineer. My role is to enable the strategic development and coordination of the Scrum teams within my area of responsibility. A typical day consists of facilitating various ceremonies such as planning, status, demo, and reflection meetings. I also spend time in one-on-one and group coaching sessions with a mix of scrum masters, product managers, engineers, testers, and analysts. These two activities usually account for 60% or more of my day.

I also devote the remaining time to reviewing team metrics and observing the application of various lean and agile principles in a team setting. I help to identify and implement improvement opportunities. I typically use any time that is left to coordinate with my peers, work with mentors, or educate myself on the latest trends in my area.
