SITUATION
Leadership desired to automate the Strategic Plan to get a 360-degree view of the information they needed to make real-time, value-based decisions to maximize the ROI delivered by the programs, projects, and products they invested in. The company uses a VSEM (Vision, Strategy, Execution, and Metrics) Framework to create and manage its strategic plan.
The current Strategic Plan was contained in a series of powerpoints that cascaded through the management levels for each function.
Leadership needed a way to visualize their strategic plan and enable multiple levels to create their cascading plan. Leadership also needed a way to track key performance indicators (KPIs) throughout the year to ensure their investments were on target.

MY APPROACH

- Trained and Coached Product Manager and Product Owners: worked with product manager and product owners to define product vision, product roadmap, product features, user personas, and user stories.
- Led team using Scrum: Trained and led distributed team using Scrum, built team alliance, held daily standups, story refinement, sprint reviews and sprint retrospectives. Instilled an agile mindsetup into teams. Delivered value in 2 week sprints.
- Setup and Configured Collaboration Tooling: Worked with team to setup JIRA, Confluence and Sharepoint to enable collaboration.
