I had the privilege of leading the Intake phase of the Technology Lifecycle Process from inception to completion. My thorough review of the High-Level Service Design and Security Checklist ensured its completeness and affirmed the document's accuracy. In addition, I effectively managed the SharePoint repository for service design documentation, establishing a solid foundation for our processes. During this time, I successfully: - Spearheaded the initiative to identify and elicit requirements, paving the way for the automation of 80 percent of the Intake process, greatly enhancing efficiency. - Streamlined operations by reducing the design backlog from an average of 80 to just 20 at any given time and cutting the average duration of designs in intake from 27 days to 10 days. - Partnered with the business and stakeholders to ensure that all designs met compliance standards and were properly documented and projects were ready for development. I proactively communicated the necessary steps for transitioning designs from intake to the design stage, emphasizing the importance of complete and accurate High-Level Design (HLD) and security requirements. - Offered valuable guidance to leadership while diligently gathering business requirements for the automation of the Intake process for Service Design, ensuring our initiatives aligned with organizational goals.
