Delivery management - Role
Delivery manager
The person who keeps a team’s work moving by dealing with blockers and coordinating delivery
What's it for?
Helps a team keep work moving by removing blockers, balancing priorities and making progress visible.
For example…
When testing is stuck on environment access, the delivery manager gets the accounts opened the same day so the sprint does not idle
A delivery manager sees that testing has stopped because the team cannot access the system they need, gets the right people together and removes the blocker
Think of it like…
Pit-crew chief: the drivers still race, but someone keeps the stops fast and the car on the track
