Wexford, Pennsylvania, Us

I am coaching CCH and the CCH project/development team to work on an integrated health care app on a Firm Fixed-Price contract managed with Scrum. We track the scope and schedule using a Product Backlog and two-week Sprints. Deliverables from each Sprint are demonstrated, tested by the user, and signed-off. Signed-off Sprint deliverables are the basis for invoicing the client for the Sprint.The team learned to develop Stories that could be developed, tested, and delivered within one Sprint. Individual team members learned to break their work down into 1 day or shorter tasks to track progress. Test learned to perform risk-based testing and use automation to handle variations of the major scenarios. Our customers did not provide true Product Owners so we developed the expertise on our team to build an 80% solution that we could tweak after delivery. We implemented user acceptance testing after each Sprint to minimize the issues found in final testing at project end.Other Responsibilities:• Worked with the back Office engineering team to implement Security/High Trust throughout the overall architecture• Worked with the overall CCH organization to implement HIPPA policy and training• Worked with 3rd party vendors to help them achieve HIPPA compliance and guide them in getting BAA established and signed off.• Educated organization on Scrum and Agile methodologies• Implemented a Kanban approach for the BackOffice development team• Worked with senior management to help drive Agile/Scrum across CCH• Contract/Procurement management• Vendor management • Implemented JIRA and Confluence• Vetted out and hired the PM and QA teams• Converted waterfall process to Agile• Senior PM for the following work streams (IDM/PING, OnePath, SalesForce, IRIS, DevOps, Backoffice (API’s, Endpoints), and Operations.• Transitioned QA team from waterfall to embedded agile
