The Product Owner determines the acceptable, minimum viable product (MVP) and approves each MVP release from development to production IT environments.

Communication and Mentorship

+ Communicate with cross-agency partners to ensure we are meeting business needs, enabling long-term success, and setting expectations.

+ Translate IT processes and tool strategies to support the agency’s day-to-day efforts, driving toward greater efficiencies and higher quality deliverables.
