Escalation Management: Work with the customer success and support teams to understand and prioritize outstanding bugs and issues in upcoming sprints. 

Risk Management: Identify and mitigate risks that could impact product development or delivery.  This includes working closely with your release manager to ensure timelines are met, tough conversations are had, mitigation strategies are put into place, and transparency is taken to leadership for assistance when needed. 

UI/UX alignment:  work with your UX counterpart to ensure new features in the backlog have wireframes and UI designs ready to go as a critical step in sprint planning.  This includes providing feedback on the designs and working with the UI team on design sprints as well as user acceptance testing.
