I joined Yarlington Housing Group as a Project Manager, working alongside the Programme Manager to primarily deliver projects for the business but also to support on the set up of the PMO function and to sell the process and benefits of a project office to the business teams. Alongside the project delivery, I helped to support the talent cohort for 2019, offering mentoring to 3 teams who had projects to deliver. When the partnership to Radian Group was announced, I helped in the early stages of the setting up of the combined PMO function, called Fit4Business and then led on a group wide task to define the ‘As Is’ states of each business functions tools and systems as one of the first steps of the Integration stream. Since the partnership has started, I have worked on two key projects and three research papers. The first was supporting the Company Secretary and the Legal & Governance functions as one of the Housing Associations within the group, had a Transfer of Engagement to another Subsidiary. The second project was working with all the relevant business functions and stakeholders to make sure they were operationally ready for a £400m stock acquisition from another Housing Association. The research papers were working with business teams to help research different initiatives that the Exec Team had identified as part of the interim corporate strategy. They were around Acute Homelessness, Environmental Sustainability & Customer Demographics. My most recent projects were working with the two legacy Commercial Services organisations. The first project, Stabilisation, were multiple streams of work based on outputs from a KPMG Audit. During this time, I was brought on to support operational readiness for Recovery, for the switch back on of customer facing services after the lockdown due to Covid-19. My current project is delivering Integration of the two legacy Commercial Services teams, based on the Integration blueprint & Commercial Service strategy.

After 7 months as a Junior Business Analyst I was promoted to Business Analyst. I have worked on both the Roadmap and Delivery side of different projects and also worked on ‘Change Request Forms’ that initially come in from the business. I was the Business Analyst on a number of group projects around Analytics and a AI Search Tool. Most recently I worked on the GDPR Project, lookng specifically at Marketing Consent and Privacy Notices.Roadmap: Gather requirements from the business of how the ‘as is’ looks compared to the ‘to be’ process. Compiling and presenting a cost model which helps to work out how the project looks against budget. Creating a PDS to present the project to the key stakeholders and to aid the delivery team for that project. I also work alongside 3rd parties during a vendor selection process and to then obtain a ‘Statement of Works’ from the selected vendor for a particular project. Delivery: Work alongside the Business and Project team to help deliver the project; hosting daily stand-ups and surgeries to work out daily requirements and identify potential risks. Using Rally to construct user stories that are delivered in two week iteration cycles. These stories are then developed before being accepted by the business truth. I also work alongside the Business to make sure all Business readiness tasks have been created ready for deployment into live. The business currently operates using an Agile methodology, however I have had exposure to Waterfall techniques used by 3rd party Vendors.
