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.
Some people never learn it :) They can be Top managers at P&G, Nestle and E&Y and still struggling to acquire the needed mindset.
I work individually with Product Owners, training their Agility like a gym coach.
Minding complexities and avoiding overskill (smth that takes a lot o energy to build or do).

Acknowledgements. Since 2022 I am in forced immigration which makes my career journey very challenging. However, I want to thank many friends and family members who supported me during that period. On my way I met different people: supportive and kind, strong and resilient, but also those who demonstrated unethical behaviour during work and in communication. however, I got valuable lessons and will do what I did with all my passion and determination to make change in this world.
