• Actively clear roadblocks for the teams — this could involve overcoming a technical hurdle with a partner, or getting a rapid decision from a product owner or a technical account manager.
• Triage inbound requests from internal teams and external partners.
• Check the status of critical tasks in Jira/GitLab, ensure tickets are correctly prioritized based on the release schedule, and verify the Definition of Done for upcoming builds.
• Spend time with the main stakeholders to compare new requirements or bug reports against the current release scope and timeline, negotiating and making data-driven trade-off decisions.
• Check the status of automated builds (CI/CD) or non-automated builds and QA testing cycles for different release tracks (e.g., Alpha, Beta, Production Candidate).
• Proactively review and update the risk register, focusing on high-impact/high-probability risks (e.g., carrier certification approvals, critical AOSP vulnerability, performance regressions) and planning mitigation steps.
• Conduct scheduled or ad-hoc calls with key external partners (e.g., software suppliers) to review their delivery milestones and manage dependencies on their side.
• Prepare or deliver status updates to the Head of Product/CTO and other management team members, providing a clear, honest view of the release health, risks, and necessary escalations.
• Handle the retrospective, review the efficiency of the latest completed software release, looking for bottlenecks in testing, handovers, or approval processes, and documenting actionable improvements.
