ABOUT JAMES NEWLAND

Helping teams of capable people to develop themselves personally and professionally is the most rewarding aspect of my job. Managing and delivering high quality and timely results against a world-class suite of technical development road maps is a very close second. It\'s amazing what you can do with the right people and processes.Connecting engineering and end-user clients is never easy, but the results are significant in terms of personal job satisfaction for all and revenue for the business. At the forefront of a large global expansion plan extending into the 2020s and beyond, I relish the prospect, and am very confident in achieving, strategic results throughout.Success is about setting up a recipe for success where everyone wants to win, and nurturing that passion. It is not expecting it to be done by someone else and hoping for the best.Specialities: Multi-technology team management (Web Services, C++, C#, MFC, Fortran), deployment and roadmap management, hands-on Javascript, resource planning, MSP Program assurance, Agile/Scrum (used pragmatically), KANBAN, Scrum-BAN, JIRA administration, test automation, QA management and standards coordination, recruitment, documentation, graphic design, instructional design (Learnupon), PhotoShop, After Effects, SQL, Illustrator, InDesign, MadCap Flare.
