As a project manager with Agile expertise, I successfully applied Agile principles to lead cross-functional teams, driving a 40% increase in productivity.

By leveraging Jira, I managed the backlog, tracked sprint progress, and ensured full visibility of tasks and metrics, keeping teams aligned with business priorities. I facilitated all release plans, portfolio meeting Scrum ceremonies—sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives—ensuring that each event was outcome-focused and time-boxed, which improved team collaboration and accountability, bringing visibility and transparency to a project.

Additionally, I used Miro to foster visual collaboration during planning sessions and retrospectives, helping teams brainstorm, map out processes, and align on goals. This combination of Jira for task management and Miro for visual facilitation enabled efficient problem-solving and seamless communication to help deliver the projects in a timely manner. The outcome was a release that delivered measurable value to over 6,000 users, reducing customer research time by 60% and significantly enhancing both customer satisfaction and business outcomes.

Real-time payments (RTP) are initiated and settled nearly instantaneously. A real-time payment rail is a digital infrastructure that facilitates real-time payments. Ideally, real-time payment networks provide 24x7x365 access, which means they are always online to process transfers. This includes weekends and holidays.

I fulfilled the functions of an Agile scrum master by overseeing 100% of the software development planning and delivery process and acted as the primary liaison between more than five project stakeholders. Also, I organized and facilitated sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, sprint retrospectives, and release planning for three teams and coached more than 16 team members and stakeholders in preparation for scrum ceremonies, events, and goal attainment. Finally, I utilized PM tools to elicit and define business and technical requirements, track requirements, and prioritize features, as well as prepared and shared the three teams' metrics and delivery results.

Jama is a leading requirement management solution used by a client's project managers, business analysts, and product owners to manage their product requirements. Based on the product requirements, the R&D team created models using the IBM Rhapsody modeling tool to support those requirements. These two tools needed to be integrated for the required information to be real-time visible to the R&D team, thus ensuring there was no misinterpretation of requirements as all updates were visible to the R&D and product teams. They could also get the latest model data from requirement traceability. We also reduced the R&D team's turnaround time by 30% and increased service-level agreement (SLA) compliance of the model creation to 80%.

I coordinated with the vendor Kovair that provided an integration product used to integrate Jama and Rhapsody. Finally, I managed the end-to-end development lifecycle of the project, starting with vendor onboarding, signing off an NDA and a statement of work (SOW), scoping requirements, and delivering the project using an Agile framework.
