Execution and Monitoring are where the best Project Managers shine. By utilizing Kanban boards, daily standups, and rigorous velocity tracking, a PM can adjust scopes in real time. We call this the 'agile pivot'—the ability to react to newly discovered constraints without derailing the entire sprint.
