• Owning product roadmap and vision from initial discovery to MVP and beyond.• Bringing users, engineers and designers together to understand user challenges, and drive product direction based on this research.• Scoping, sizing and prioritisation of requirements.• External marketing of product capabilities and qualification of potential new customers.Selected experience: A global pharmaceutical sourcing organisation wanted to transition away from their existing 3rd party Source to Contract solution and, through leveraging their knowledge of sourcing best practices, develop a product which could also be offered to external customer groups. Working with users, designers and engineers we employed techniques such as user journey mapping to guide initial requirements gathering, then distilled these into high priority product backlog items ready for development. Working to a tight timeline with the Development Team we drove MVP iteration based on feedback from a core user group to develop a flexible yet simple product (sourcespace.com) that could be used to manage diverse sourcing event processes.

• Software requirements gathering, management and prioritisation.• Close engagement with Development Team to inform product iteration.• Workshop delivery and facilitation.• Project planning and scoping, understanding TIA, TCO and ROI.Selected experience: An international retail and banking technology provider wanted to modernise their transaction-processing platform to meet evolving customer requirements. Starting with a short discovery phase, I worked as part of a team with senior stakeholders and SMEs to define high level product requirements and clearly link these to strategic goals for the organisation. Working with developers and SMEs I transformed these high-level requirements into high priority product backlog items ready for development. Starting with a small UK-based team, I encouraged ways of working and values aligned to the Scrum framework. Once delivery was stable, I drove scaling of the development team through an internship approach where offshore members were onboarded into the UK team, given time to familiarise themselves with the ways of working, and then split out into a separate offshore team. The development team is now capable of delivering value at a rapid pace, while managing dependencies across two geographically separated scrum teams

Selected experience: A multinational oil and gas company had planned a significant transformation in how it managed software delivery across its entire portfolio, but was finding it difficult to coordinate and deliver this change. In the first phase of this project, I engaged with key stakeholders to assess the maturity of two departments towards Agile software delivery. In the second and third phases of the engagement, I worked with stakeholders to identify and prioritise opportunities within these departments and align the proposed changes with the remaining departments. Once inter-departmental dependencies had been identified and managed, I then assisted in the preparation of a change roadmap which is now being successfully executed by this organisation
