Detail List of Accomplishments:
Created and matured the SDLC to bring a five year old project back on track
- Before 2021 there was 0 releases
- After I came on we moved to two releases, then four and are presently doing two per quarter
I created, coached and developed teams internationally so we can create software around the clock
- This includes training agile leadership to ensure that the preferred SDLC methodology can be consistently followed
I was able to guide a stalled, multi-million dollar project to launch
- This not only added to the revenue stream but is a game changer in the marketplace
- I removed silos while keeping the teams identity, ensured focus on value delivery and properly staffed the division remove the barrier to development
I trained and coached our more mechanically based product group to be more understanding of how software and hardware need to flow to maximize our value
- This included guiding the team on rethinking how to write feature and initiatives.
- I also developed the team communications to ensure that their road-map tied back to the hardware portion of the organization
I created and implemented enterprise metrics based on flow and customer value generated
Developed and implemented a methodology for prioritization in our mechanical division
- This was a mind set shift and instead used metrics to decide where to focus first so we can deliver the products into the market faster
- Within 3 months there was a 20% reduction in the holding costs and a 40% reduction in customer escapes as a result of being able to prioritize based on value and not estimates or assumptions
Reduced overhead license costs on software programs, about $600,000 per year
- I created a very simple approval process that allowed us to move at the speed of business while ensuring we did not duplicate costs
- I also commonized our basic tool sets to reduce overhead license and maintenance costs
2021 - 2024 Mentor
- Providing leadership and professional growth for staff outside of my division who are interested in advancing their career or learning a new skill.
- This includes staff in the United States and India
