@ireneejiofor
Agile Project Manager driving digital transformation, delivering cross-site projects with measurable impact.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Experienced Agile Project Manager and cross-industry project delivery specialist with over a decade of progressive leadership in digital transformation, infrastructure development, and operational support. I drive Agile adoption and measurable delivery improvements through sprint optimization, backlog refinement, and tight stakeholder alignment, using tools such as Jira, Trello, Microsoft Project, Confluence, and Asana.
In my current role, I’ve facilitated Agile adoption, coached four product owners on backlog management and sprint execution, and improved team efficiency by 25%. I lead backlog refinement to ensure user stories are sprint-ready, standardize documentation in Confluence (reducing onboarding time by 40%), and automate sprint reporting in Asana to increase sprint planning accuracy by 30%; across teams, I also improved interdepartmental efficiency by 20%. Earlier, I delivered multi-site infrastructure projects “on time and within budget,” supported governance and assurance processes in PMO environments using PRINCE2 methodologies, and maintained high project visibility through milestone tracking, KPI reporting, and risk assessment.
