Coordinator
Manages projects, orchestrates workflows, and keeps teams aligned on milestones and dependencies.
Runs sprint operations, tracks deliverables, manages dependencies, and handles administrative coordination — with escalation triggers for blocked work.
Choose this archetype when…
- — Projects slip because nobody owns tracking, dependencies, and follow-up
- — Your team leads spend more time on coordination overhead than on their actual work
- — Cross-team handoffs are a consistent source of delays and miscommunication
- — Administrative coordination (scheduling, reporting, logistics) consumes disproportionate time
What it owns day-to-day
- — Runs stand-ups, tracks sprint progress, and updates project boards
- — Chases blockers, flags risks, and escalates stalled work
- — Produces status reports, dashboards, and executive summaries
- — Manages calendars, meetings, and cross-team scheduling
- — Maintains dependency maps and milestone trackers
