"Adeel was an incredible asset to our business and the teams he supported. He successfully guided our business scrums to be completely self-managing and self-generating, and have set them up for success. It was great to work with you, Adeel, and we hope to do so again in the future."" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am at heart a scrum framework advocate and believe in the following the process in its truest sense, i.e. coaching the team to become self-sufficient to perform all their daily and sprint tasks. As a scrum master my job is to make sure that teams feel proud of the work they do and instead of someone else micro-managing them, they should hold themselves accountable. Providing the team with tools, metrics and processes to help them identify and evaluate their performance would also be my job as a Scrum Master. The processes I develop are not a one size that fits all, they are according to the organization and teams needs. Jira Administrator and expert: Setting up Jira scrum board and projects from scratch, workflows, Custom field configurations, Advance JQL, Jira automations these are all areas in which I have worked in a Jira admin capacity. The idea behind learning the tool to this extent is to able to pull data and use it for decisions. I always create a Jira guidelines document(with screenshots and Loom videos) for reference for all team members as well as new people joining.

"Adeel showed his fluency in Jira during these first training session with us, giving us a tour through the basic set up of projects, sprints and roadmap while using our Jira workspace and a sample project. He incorporates real life scenarios that link best practices to using scrum boards in Jira. Adeel also brought insight in his approach to setting up a clear User Story format, and excellent coaching on the content for epics, stories, tasks and subtasks in a way that will help track the progress of our team. We will be working with him to build a good structure and foundation for our Jira workspace."
