About Hamzah

I'm experienced in Agile, Scrum, Kanban, Scrum@Scale, managing distributed teams, creating documents, Jira, confluence, and miro.

Also, I'm skilled and experienced in backlog prioritization techniques, story creations and backlog management using the INVEST/START and 'DEEP' criterion respectively, conducting scrum team health checks, organizational agile health checks, moderation, process facilitation and improvement.

I conduct all Scrum ceremonies: backlog grooming/sprint planning, daily scrum, sprint review, and retrospective. I've been faced with using Kanban methodology on a support project.

I prefer to use Jira to help teams plan, track, and release increments, confluence for documentation, Slack for text communication, and Zoom for online meetings.

What is important to me:
- Create a valuable product;
- Have convenient processes and good weather in a team;
- Full documentation which describes all ;
- Transparency;
- Team psychological safety;
- Adapt and continuously improve;

The traits that have served me well on my journey include;

- Empathy - My ability to connect with team members on emotional levels, allowing us to build trust and communicate openly.

- Curiosity - Curiosity drives me to seek out new knowledge and skills to help my team be even more successful.

- Result-oriented - The question I ask myself every single time is "What can I do now to help the team achieve its goals and create value for the business?".

I can consult my clients on management processes/development methodologies/work and development flow/documenting/project startup.

I look forward to connecting with you!😊
