p.o. box 30041, Houston TX 77249,-,-Objective My focus for the last few years has been imparting knowledge about team building and agile methods which lead to value driven projects and improved performance. I am usually hired to put projects back in the green, bring order and roll out new process. Experience 1/2019 - 1/22/2020. Realware, LLC. Sr. Manager Application Development - Scrum, Agile Coach: I am in charge of the team’s successful delivery of valuable solutions for the customer. A large part of this involves imparting knowledge about agile process and finding a perfect blend of management tools to keep the entire team in the know. I gather requirements, perform QA if needed, and schedule and plan deployments for several projects. We follow Scrum ceremonies to help close outstanding tickets at a desired pace within our sprints. We use Jira, Confluence, GitHub, Sharepoint, O365, Visual Studio, and MS Teams among other tools. We work on CMS and other secure solutions in the cloud, and provide 24 hour SysOps/DevOps support. We recently moved all of the clients to AWS or Azure to close our data center. I just completed my largest deliverable which was the launch of a new site and content management system for a large insurance company in Hartford. I am searching for a new company to help. 6/2017-12/2018: Independent Consultant. I used online contract job sites to apply for projects requiring an Agile project manager, an Agile Coach or a Senior manager of an offshore development team. I can set teams up in a new agile tool, provide training and get projects back into good health. 4/2016-5/2017: United Airlines, Technology Division Program Delivery Manager - Application Development, Financial Systems: I managed five to twelve developers who were adept in delivering against immediate deadlines. Accounts Payable was our largest stakeholder. I was hired for my former position to introduce agile project management methodology in Financial Systems. We moved many of the legacy systems to Oracle for scalability. 7/2014-4/1/2016: United Airlines, Technology Division Project Manager, Financial Systems: ​The largest part of my responsibility resided in overseeing the onboarding of the offshore development team. This included the due diligence activity, resource selection and knowledge transfers to the offshore team. We also worked on the New Data Center move, and I kept track of program level responsibilities such as resource forecasting and budget compliance for the department. 12/2011- 7/2014: United Airlines, Technology Division Manager, Product Architecture and Business Analysis - IT - Customer Value Creation: We established a service layer for the enterprise called CSL. We used our combined years of airline experience to drive out business requirements, and provide support for our developers. I worked on foundational roadmaps, process implementation, PMO tools, and made sure that requirements would serve multiple stakeholders over time. We were dedicated to scrum methodology in this team. - |​Jane on LinkedIn ​| Jane Flores 2020 p.o. box 30041, Houston TX 77249,-,- 6/2009-11/2011: Continental Airlines, Technology Division.
