About

I'll lead your Agile software development to success!

Well, lately I have spent the last 3 years and 10 months working at the company Juriba LTD (my recent and brightest working experience).

I started as a Feature Product Owner with one development team and after six months, I was promoted to Area Product Owner managing 4 FPOs and serving two teams as both the Product Owner and Scrum Master. I was learning in practice to combine these instances in a very good environment: intelligent teams and great mentors (Sally Beety and Paul Gregory).

The company had planned to transition to Large Scale Scrum which set the stage for my role, unfortunately, this transition was later declined, but not my role and responsibilities :).

It's important to acknowledge the teams I worked with—they were properly selected (not by me, of course), they were highly skilled professionals and awesome personalities at the same time. It gave me a powerful and memorable sense of team synergy and talent concentration within the company.

For more than half a year, I balanced between two teams and their backlogs. We held mutual retrospectives, but other agile ceremonies were conducted separately. I was assisted by co-pilots (each team had an informal leader, a developer who actively contributed to assure the definition of ready for each of my user stories and supported the team). Additionally, I performed the functions of a line manager for 3 Feature Product Owners, focusing on mentoring, support, and management, of course.

When the transition plan to Large Scale Scrum was cancelled, and all teams were restructured, I continued to serve as a line manager and got only one team with a primary focus on Self Service.

Among my accomplishments to put on resume, I consider the creation of a working version of the Self Service component within the product, which provided a modern and more functional alternative to the legacy product component, as a significant success.

As for other achievements in cv I would mention the redesign of data presentation in a new user-friendly, secure interface. My two teams were involved in the product modernization to transit from a Legacy interface (which we called 'Senior') to a Junior interface ('Evergreen'). Along the way, we addressed feedback from content security and accessibility checks, ultimately earning a WCAG 2.1 A and AA certification by the end of 2023.

In addition, I took a part in interviewing candidates for the position of Feature Product Owner (I can call three of them "my guys"), and all of them showed excellent results subsequently. I also assisted in the onboarding not only of feature product owners but also manual and automation testers, helping them to integrate quickly with the product and feel comfortable within the system.
