About Sai Chander M.

I’m an Agile Delivery Professional with 9+ years of experience supporting cross-functional technology teams across insurance, financial services, and federal programs. My work focuses on helping teams deliver complex software in a predictable and sustainable way while keeping engineering, product, and business stakeholders aligned. I have a Masters degree in Information Systems Management and my career in Technology started as a Full Stack Java developer, which gave me a strong understanding of the software development lifecycle and how systems move from design to production. That background helps me work closely with Engineers, DevOps teams, and Architects when planning delivery, managing dependencies, and supporting releases.Over the past several years I’ve worked as a Scrum Master/Coach in both team-level Agile and Scaled frameworks such as SAFe. My experience includes facilitating ceremonies, supporting Program Increment planning, coordinating cross-team dependencies, improving delivery visibility through flow metrics, and working with Product Owners to maintain strong backlog discipline.Currently at Selective Insurance, I support teams delivering Gen AI and underwriting platform capabilities within an Agile Release Train, helping coordinate delivery planning, release readiness, and continuous improvement across teams.
