Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) Optimisation

I implement Agile and modern product management best practices that lead to organisations becoming more lean and customer-focused. The following optimisation improvement initiatives have successfully streamlined my client's organisations:

• Definition and alignment of roles and responsibilities to eliminate confusion and improve collaboration.
• A new process and supporting tools for estimating and planning, allowing high-integrity commitments on delivery dates.
• A velocity-based release planning process to increase accuracy of delivery plans.
• A bottom-up Sprint Planning process and supporting tool to unlock unused development teams' capacity and increase commitment on the sprint goal.
• Creation of Communities of Practice (CoP) for all roles, planting the seed to implement best Agile practices and XP programming techniques
• Definition of a new Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) process, including comprehensive documentation required at each stage of development and first-line controls.
• Implementation of a shared Definition of Done (DoD) and Definition of Ready (DoR) to ensure clear expectations and quality standards. 
• An approach for identifying the main assumptions, risks and customer needs of the proposed development features.
• A rapid-prototyping approach to mitigate development risks and validate assumptions.
• Built lines of communications between engineering members and business product roles, engaging Engineering in product discovery activities.
