• To pass the benefit of your knowledge and experience on to the team via code review, your contributions in planning activities, retrospectives, knowledge sharing sessions, etc
• Mentoring and coaching more junior / less experienced members of the team, role-modelling an open, positive, progressive, and results-orientated approach
