I design and deliver better online services for Suffolk County Council customers. This includes improving existing online services as well as moving offline services online, with the goal of improving customer experience and delivering best value. As a qualified Agile Project Manager I deliver solutions through a continual process of testing and learning to ensure we deliver the best end product. My role as user engagement lead within the team means that I make sure that myself and my colleagues put users at the heart of this process through thorough research, consultation and testing throughout. This all requires me to build strong relationships with colleagues and external partner organisations, working with them to identify opportunities for delivering improvement. This includes mapping existing business processes and identifying existing issues and blockers, developing user stories and understanding the technical requirements of the business, working with the business to design a better customer and business experience, and communicating all of this to our development team to ensure that the solution delivered is fit for purpose.
