Kristina Devčić

I’m a highly experienced Product Owner, Project Manager, and Senior Business Analyst with 15+ years of professional background in leading digital transformation initiatives across public sector, agriculture, telecommunications, and tourism. My core strength lies in bridging the gap between business and technology – aligning strategic goals with actionable product and project outcomes.

I specialize in end-to-end product and project ownership, from requirements gathering and business analysis to backlog management, delivery coordination, and post-release optimization. I'm fluent in Agile (Scrum) methodology and have successfully led multi-disciplinary teams through complex digital product lifecycles, ensuring timely and high-quality delivery.

Over the past few years, I’ve focused on managing national-level IT systems supporting agriculture, fisheries, and rural development – including payment distribution, grant management, expert evaluation, and risk analysis – ensuring alignment with EU policies. Key initiatives include upgrading core systems such as Agronet, field control platforms, and integrated grant management systems.

Previously, I led business-critical projects in the telecom industry, including CRM optimization, service integration, and regulatory compliance, while collaborating with national regulators and external operators. I also delivered consulting services to tourism clients, helping them digitize operations and enhance customer experience.

Key skills include:

• Business process analysis & optimization (AS-IS / TO-BE)
• Product ownership & backlog prioritization
• Agile project management (Scrum)
• Cross-functional team coordination
• Stakeholder engagement & communication
• Functional specification & documentation
• Risk management & quality assurance

I’m passionate about solving complex problems, improving systems that matter, and delivering solutions that create real value. Whether you need someone to define a product vision, run a project from scratch, or translate user needs into actionable deliverables – I bring the experience, structure, and strategic mindset to get it done.
