My role as a project manager consultant includes joinging regular stand up meetings, taking notes of these meetings and using these to keep trackers up t date. I help manage what tasks need to be done by my team. I also help organise and run retrospectives, sprint planning sessions and social calls. I also keep track of the hours logged by my team and help calculate how much we bill the client.
