Coach cross-functional mobile teams to deliver predictable, high-quality releases. Drive flow, visibility, and collaboration across VCTs and the ART. • Team facilitation: Lead Sprint Planning, Daily Scrums, Reviews, and Retrospectives; set clear Sprint Goals, uphold DoR/DoD, and remove impediments. • Release orchestration (Jira): Maintain versions and release notes; ensure readiness (features, updates, fixes) and coordinate cutover with stakeholders. • Cross-team coordination: Run Scrum of Scrums for VCT teams; surface, track, and resolve dependencies and blockers. • Risk & issue management: Proactively identify and ROAM risks; escalate through ART channels • Stakeholder engagement: Partner with Product Owners, managers, and VCT leads; provide transparent progress, demos, and release updates. • Continuous improvement: Analyse velocity/throughput/lead time; publish retro summaries and drive actionable experiments to improve predictability. • Quality enablement: Definition of Done, test readiness, and early QA involvement to raise release quality. • Transparency & reporting: Create Sprint Review decks; maintain dashboards and accurate records of performance and impediments. • Capacity & forecasting: Facilitate capacity planning and sequencing against priorities (avoid over-commitment, manage unplanned work). • Team growth: Mentor via workshops and internal retros; foster psychological safety, collaboration, and accountability. • PI Planning (SAFe): Prepare the team, align on PI Objectives, map dependencies/risks, and track outcomes across the increment.

End-to-end delivery ownership for cloud-hosted products (AWS), aligning roadmaps, milestones, and teams to predictable, high-quality releases. • Release management (AWS): Orchestrated release calendars, change approvals, go/no-go, and rollback plans to ensure seamless, low-risk deployments. • Roadmapping & planning: Defined delivery roadmaps, aligned milestones and objectives with business outcomes, and prioritised work for maximum impact. • Cross-team orchestration: Coordinated cross-layer squads and partners; ran dependency syncs/Scrum-of-Scrums to surface and resolve blockers early. • Delivery execution: Monitored flow and progress, removed bottlenecks, and re-balanced schedules to protect scope, quality, and timelines. • Risk & issue management: Maintained ROAM logs; proactively mitigated and escalated risks to minimise disruption. • Capacity & resourcing: Allocated people and skills strategically based on changing priorities and demand. • Quality enablement: Embedded QA practices across the lifecycle (readiness checklists, regression) to raise release quality. • Stakeholder engagement: Built strong relationships with internal/external stakeholders; provided transparent status, release notes, and decision-ready updates. • Continuous improvement: Drove retros and process simplification; encouraged collaboration and automation to improve throughput. • Budget stewardship: Managed delivery budgets, optimised resource utilisation, and monitored cost vs. plan. • Documentation & reporting: Maintained accurate delivery artefacts (status reports, dashboards, and decision logs) for traceability.

Coach cross-functional teams to deliver reliable, high-quality increments on AWS while keeping flow, transparency, and stakeholder trust front and center. Outcome Highlights • Shortened feedback loops and improved predictability through disciplined Sprint goals, DoR/DoD, and flow metrics. • Increased release confidence by tightening readiness checks, regression, and rollback plans on AWS. • Raised team engagement and ownership via structured retrospectives and targeted improvement experiments. What I Led • Facilitation & cadence: Sprint Planning, Daily Scrums, Reviews, Retros; clear goals, visible commitments, impediment removal. • Release management on AWS: Versioning, change approvals, cutover/rollback, and release notes for features/fixes. • Delivery execution: Progress tracking, early risk/issue surfacing, schedule adaptation to protect scope and quality. • Cross-team alignment: Dependency mapping and syncs across layers; timely escalation to unblock critical paths. • Stakeholder partnership: Regular, decision-ready updates; constructive feedback handling with PO/engineering/design. • Quality enablement: Shift-left testing practices, readiness checklists, and QA collaboration to prevent defects. • Resourcing & forecasting: Capacity planning with the team; skills allocation aligned to priorities and milestones. • Continuous improvement: Data-informed experiments (lead time, throughput, WIP) and action-tracked retro outcomes. • Financial awareness: Supported budget visibility and cost-impact trade-offs in delivery planning. • Documentation & transparency: Lightweight, accurate artefacts—plans, status dashboards, risk.
