Process Analyst and Scrum Master

Spring Global

In this position, I served three teams that worked both in developing a standard product and the customization of this standard product to a specific customer. I also helped a distributed team to work together to develop the same product. As Process Analyst and Scrum Master, I was responsible for evaluating the methods used by the teams to perform the many activities involved in software development and proposing ways to increase efficiency. I have acted to remove factors that decrease productivity and helped the development teams self-organize, cooperate, and communicate effectively. I ensured that the agile methodology was followed and contributed to the integration among the teams and other company areas. My team has adapted an approach to give personal feedback (the feedback canvas), and I acted as a facilitator in the process. I also received new developers, giving them a technical and functional overview of the product being developed and the processes we used. I have implemented and configured a new version of Atlassian Jira from scratch and acted as Jira administrator, providing the teams with a tool and a workflow that enable them to organize their work.
