What are Agile challenges that I solve
I specialize in optimizing project delivery, ensuring efficiency, minimizing delays, and driving timely, problem-focused outcomes. Continual elaboration.
I can help implement Agile methodologies and tools to increase transparency in project progress and team performance. As a Manager, experienced with: SAP, Success Factors, Atlassian products, Slack, Miro, PowerBI, Monday.com, Tableau. Marketing tools: ClickDimensions, SQQ, Survei.io, Hubspot, Mailchimp, SurveyMonkey. Also SproutSocial and Iconosquare.
I emphasize empowering over control, helping to prevent scope creep and keep projects on track and recognizing time sequence and building plans with dependencies and Milestones. Negotiating trade-offs
I help clients establish clear priorities and ensure that teams work on the most valuable features or tasks first. MoScOw and other prioritisation techniques. Also, establish criteria for completion and deliverables.
I can assist in resource allocation, helping my project client allocate people, time, and budget effectively to optimize project outcomes. Tools: Jira, Toggle, Monday.com, Zapier (for personal automation tasks). Managing resources assumes not only amount of resources needed but also their availability.
An Agile mindset is less about process and more about culture:
- Flexibility over rigidity
- Customer value over internal bureaucracy
- Collaboration over silos
- Continuous learning over fixed assumptions
I enhance team dynamics through conflict resolution, fostering collaboration, and implementing effective communication strategies like regular feedback sessions and team-building exercises
