What I Bring to Your Team
I've been serving Scrum teams since 2016, working across a pretty wide range of IT projects: custom app development, ETL, infrastructure migrations, GRC, mobile rewrites, and InfoSec initiatives. The industries have been just as varied, entertainment, real estate, insurance, food services, and defense.
My job is to keep the work visible, the backlog healthy, and the team focused. That means facilitating the ceremonies, yes, but more importantly it means paying close attention to what's blocking progress and working to clear the path.
A few things I focus on in every engagement:
Keeping the backlog prioritized and refined so the team always knows what's next and why it matters. Writing user stories with clear acceptance criteria so developers and designers have what they need to do great work. Running retrospectives that actually lead to change, not just a list of complaints on sticky notes. Tracking progress in a way that gives stakeholders confidence without burdening the team.
