Experience
Scrum Master
Apr 2021 — Present · Westminster, CO, US
Key Achievements: • Orchestrated agile transformation of four teams in mere 30 days, rigorously coaching them on Scrum practices, facilitating comprehensive Jira training, instating team agreements, setting clear \"definition of done\" criteria, and integrating essential Scrum artifacts • Conducted a comprehensive review of meeting schedules, agendas, and team feedback to optimize developer focus-time. As a result, I implemented meeting-free days, reduced context-switching, and other time optimization strategies. This initiative collectively led to a 17% increase in team velocity • Conceptualized and crafted comprehensive coaching framework tailored for developers, rooted in Agile, SAFe, and Scrum methodologies, allowing for the transformation of dozens of developers into proficient Agilists • Analyzed software development lifecycle (SDLC) and determined peer review as a bottleneck. Established clear peer review criteria, standardized reviewer assignment process, and prioritized critical peer reviews - reducing average peer review time by 35% and increasing team velocity by 10%Responsibilities: • Direct three cross-functional teams across multiple Agile Release Trains, playing an integral role in Program Increment (PI) Planning and synchronization. Includes coordinating with product owners, architects, and other stakeholders, tracking and reporting on team progress, and facilitating breakout sessions to align on requirements, dependencies, and risks • Calculate Sprint and quarterly capacity by meticulously analyzing time-off, trends, historical data, and proactively looking ahead towards potential obstacles. I allocate efforts across four distinct Agile Release Trains (ARTs) each Sprint, ensuring balanced progress and charge code predictability. This strategic approach maintains workload management, enhances roadmap projectability, and safeguards the integrity and timelines of multiple concurrent projects
