undefinedAccomplishments
- As a Scrum of Scrum Manager for three Scrum
teams, I successfully implemented Agile
methodologies and practices to enhance team
productivity. This included facilitating daily
stand-up meetings, sprint planning sessions, and
retrospectives to streamline workflows and
remove impediments. - Optimized delivery time by refining sprint cycles,
implementing effective backlog grooming
processes, and fostering collaboration between
development and product teams. Through
enhanced communication and collaboration,
utilizing tools such as Google Docs, Slack, and
Viber, I resolved conflicts promptly and ensured
smooth team interactions. - To improve quality, championed test-driven
development, continuous integration, and
automated testing. Implementing FQI metrics on
stories and tracking the number of bugs
significantly reduced reported issues and
enhanced application performance.
Regularly circulated sprint reports, tracked
roadmap and project progress, and solicited
feedback from stakeholders, incorporating their
input into the development process. Empowering
the team, I conducted workshops on addressing
spill-over challenges and fostering collaboration
between QA and Dev teams. - Facilitated technical discussions and
collaborated with teams to achieve solutions,
resulting in on-time delivery. Additionally, I
designed and developed Fetcher components
for real-time data retrieval and created
monitoring tools for detecting site modifications.
Moreover, I conducted research on performance
issues and tuned product performance, ensuring
optimal functionality. I also contributed to testing,
deployment, and created a web-based admin
Certifications tool for the product. - Was honored to receive the National Level 1st
Prize from the President of India, A.P.J. Abdul
Kalam, for representing Madurai Kamaraj
University at the 5th National Youth Parliament.
