The legal delivery application is the first of its kind in the studio production industry. The features are specifically tailored to the industry's needs.

I was the product owner of the application but held several roles. I was the business analyst gathering requirements, writing user stories, defining, developing, and driving user acceptance testing (UAT) sessions, creating training materials, and managing production deployments. As the project manager, I led the design and development teams to keep the project on track and within scope. I built and managed the product roadmap and was the primary liaison with our business stakeholders. As the product owner, I prioritized the backlog and conducted executive demonstrations and presentations.

Interviewed and captured internal business stakeholders' business needs and analyzed whether their needs could be met with an existing system in the ecosystem, a licensed product, or whether a custom build was necessary.

Based on the analysis, I created Green-Light Presentations to clearly communicate the business needs, the scope, the solutions, and the required investment. Quickly after the presentation was made, I was given the green light to move forward and begin executing the projects and hiring resources.

Captured the requirements, designed the user interface, and worked with the development team to build and launch the Hierarchy Manager tool within a custom-built application.

The business workflow was very complex and required detailed testing of many scenarios and edge cases. I was also responsible for training users on how to utilize the tool and informing other groups consuming the data of the change in workflow.
