Anderson Okoro

As a seasoned Business Analyst and Certified Scrum Professional (CSM, CSPO), I leverage over five years of expertise to bridge strategic vision with technical execution, driving significant value for organizations. My core competency lies in dissecting complex business challenges and architecting robust, Agile-driven solutions that enhance productivity, reduce costs, and streamline operations.

My strong holds include

Requirements & Process Excellence:Excelling at translating ambiguous stakeholder needs into clear, actionable user stories and functional specifications. I am adept at employing advanced elicitation techniques (JAD sessions, workshops) and modeling tools (Lucidchart, Visio) to map processes, identify bottlenecks, and design future-state workflows.

Agile Leadership & Delivery:Mastering the full SDLC, I facilitate key Scrum ceremonies, manage and prioritize backlogs, and ensure cross-functional team alignment. My focus is on maximizing product value through rigorous backlog refinement and MVP strategy.

Stakeholder & Change Management:Proficient at acting as the central conduit between business stakeholders and technical teams. I build consensus, manage expectations, and ensure solutions meet business objectives, thereby smoothing the path for user adoption and organizational change.

One of my recent projects I was with improving requirements clarity and traceability to reduce development errors and rework.

I spearheaded the implementation of a new requirements management framework and tooling system.

I developed standardised templates, conducted team training, and established a centralized repository in Confluence/Jira for all project artifacts.

We achieved a25% reduction in requirements-related defects, significantly enhancing delivery quality and team velocity.

Again

Lengthy, inefficient project scoping calls were consuming valuable resources and delaying time-to-market.

We had to streamline the requirements gathering and estimation process.

And Introduced and facilitated the "3 Amigos" (BA, Dev, QA) collaborative session technique to the business.

We reduced time spent in scoping and refinement calls by over 30%, accelerating project kick-offs and saving considerable revenue.

My superpower is transforming operational challenges into opportunities for efficiency and growth, ensuring your projects are not just delivered, but deliver exceptional ROI.
