Project Manager. Scrum Master. Business Analyst.

12+ years of experience in software development. Combined experience in project management, product management, business analysis, and software engineering. HOLISTIC VISION With more than 5+ years as a software engineer, an MBA, and 4+ years in client-facing roles, I understand effectively both the technical team and the business people. EXPERIENCE WITH BOTH WATERFALL AND AGILE FRAMEWORKS I have extensive experience not only with traditional waterfall approach but also with more dynamic, agile frameworks, mainly Scrum and Kanban, both pure and customized/merged. EFFECTIVE DOCUMENTATION OF REQUIREMENTS/USER STORIES Whether you work traditional or agile, I can help you in transforming high level requirements or epics into clear, compelling requirements documents that, first and foremost, will ADD VALUE to your business. Promise. EXPERIENCE CONFIGURING JIRA AND CONFLUENCE If you are unsure on how your Jira workflow should look like, whether you are working Scrum or Kanban, I am here to help. It is all about adapting the tools to our process, not the other way around. After the setup you are happy with I will stay around until you and your team get used to it. LET'S GET STARTED! I would be very happy to talk to you about your business first - I do know that IT is not a goal in itself but rather it's a means to achieve business value. I promise I can help you in that endeavor, for my focus is always on VALUE. I look forward to talk to you soon!
