NTT Data
Sep 2015 – Oct 2018 (3 years 2 months)
I helped companies in their processes of cultural transformation through consulting, coaching, and advice to teams and business units that transition to Agile methodological frameworks. Specifically, I have worked in support of NTT internal transformation processes, in a methodology definition for adapting agile methods in Bankia, and in a Cultural Transformation Project in Banco Santander España, Repsol, Orange, and Allianz:
My organiza+onal por.olio model
• Definition of the Agile methodological
framework adapted to the Company.
• Support during the logistics and strategic
preparation of the transformation projects.
• Support during the inception phase (Sprint 0):
Definition of roles, project objectives, metrics,
Prioritized and Estimated Product Backlog,
Definition of Done, Definition Of Ready, and Team
Agreements. Also, preparation and definition of
the duration of the sprints and format of the
events (daily's, sprint review, retrospectives, sprint plannings, and refinements of the Product
Backlog).
• Guidance and coaching during the iterative phase to the Product Owner to educate in the role and keep the Product Backlog Prioritized by value and estimated by its technological risk.
• Support and coach the Scrum Master to support the methodological processes and their adaptation in the Company. In addition, I help to resolve organizational impediments.
• Guidance and coaching to the Development Team to achieve a self-organized, self-managed and responsible team to tackle projects under Agile.
• Guidance and support to the management layer of the organization to educate n the new role of manager that arises after implementing the agile methodology.
• Strategic design through Management 3.0 techniques to support and accompany the GAPS that arise in the organization as a consequence of the methodological implementation. (Kudo box, personal maps, delegation board, problem time, etc.) Most Relevant NTT Projects that I led:
