The Project Administrator helps teams translate requirements into actionable work, establish and maintain project schedules, facilitate Agile ceremonies, track progress, identify and mitigate risks, coordinate dependencies, and develop high-quality project deliverables.

  • Establish and maintain project risk, issue, action, and dependency (RAID) logs.
  • Facilitate risk identification sessions with project and technical teams.
  • Evaluate project risks for probability, impact, urgency, and potential downstream effects.
  • Work with responsible owners to develop and track risk mitigation and contingency actions.
  • Escalate critical risks, issues, decisions, and dependencies requiring management attention.
  • Track mitigation actions through closure and communicate changes in project risk posture to stakeholders.

Agile / Scrum Facilitation

  • Facilitate sprint planning, daily stand-ups, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and other Agile ceremonies.
  • Track epics, features, user stories, tasks, defects, and dependencies using Jira.
  • Monitor sprint progress, velocity, blockers, and team commitments.
  • Identify and remove or escalate impediments affecting team delivery.
  • Promote transparency, accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement across project teams.

Deliverable Development and Management

  • Coordinate the development, review, approval, and delivery of project documentation and contractual deliverables.
  • Develop and/or contribute to project plans, status reports, schedules, meeting materials, briefings, presentations, requirements documents, risk reports, decision papers, and other project artifacts.
  • Establish deliverable schedules and coordinate inputs from technical and functional subject matter experts.
  • Review deliverables for completeness, consistency, accuracy, and compliance with established standards.
  • Track deliverables through development, internal review, customer review, approval, and final submission.

Team and Stakeholder Coordination

  • Serve as a coordination point across project managers, engineers, architects, developers, analysts, business stakeholders, and leadership.
  • Schedule and facilitate project meetings, working sessions, technical discussions, and stakeholder reviews.
  • Develop meeting agendas, capture meeting minutes, document decisions, and track action items to closure.
