The RTE's role involves facilitating ART events and processes, assisting teams in delivering value, communicating with stakeholders, escalating impediments, managing risk, and driving relentless improvement.
Key collaborators with the RTE include:
* System Architects/Engineers1: They collaborate with the RTE to ensure that the architectural vision and technical aspects are integrated into the ART's work, supporting the teams in delivering a solution that is technically robust and aligns with the organization's strategic goals.
