I created a framework able to process over 80 feature requests and investigate more than 30 reported bugs I created key proactive milestones based on OKRs, namely 4 iterations of compliance aid screen improvements for ops, auto nomination iteration#1 release. Reconciliation Scenario order prescription correlation. GP requests follow up email, DPD integration with NHS admin. The framework was able to pivot to reactive requests like prescription chasing iteration#1. The framework came with 2 week time bound sprints, review and retro feedback loops that provided some transparency and team feedback opportunities. I built a solid working relationship with the business support co-ordinator,developers and business stakeholders, refining work items to support 20 sprints and ensuring supporting impact assessment documentation was prepared so the business was ready to accept the new features and functionality. A digital product backlog and roadmap in ClickUp covering multiple Simple Online Healthcare products and projects supported the delivery framework. Focus was on NHS repeat prescription product roadmap, NHS patient medication and prescription data, integration with 3rd party API suppliers, including robot integration for pouch dispensing, preparing user stories and pitch documents for developer building. Organised sprint ceremonies and release communication to business covering 20 sprint cycles.2023 Learning AWS cloud practitioner knowledge and Shape Up as an alternative delivery framework.
