Megha Upadhyay

I’m a Senior Scrum Master with 8+ years of experience in financial services, digital transformation, and cross-functional team leadership. I focus on turning business goals into iterative delivery—using strong Agile practices, clear reporting, and hands-on coaching.

At Morgan Stanley, I’ve led Agile delivery across 4 squads (40+ engineers), running sprint ceremonies, backlog refinement, and biweekly release planning to keep delivery consistent and predictable. I increased team velocity by 20% through impediment removal and optimized delivery processes, and I streamlined the biweekly release process end-to-end for smoother, on-time deployments.

I also drove the department-wide Jira migration from on-premise to cloud across 30–40 projects, coordinating cross-functional stakeholders to minimize disruption. As the bridge between business and technology teams, I improved communication efficiency, reduced delivery gaps, and achieved a measurable decrease in post-delivery issues.

Earlier, I delivered measurable operational outcomes as a Business Consultant and Strategy/Business Analyst—improving repair turnaround times by 15%, cutting shortages by 10%, and using Lean Six Sigma to deliver 20% cost savings and a 30% efficiency uplift. I bring a strong technical and process improvement mindset from my CI/CD adoption work (AWS DevOps tooling, reliability +25%, faster deployment cycles) and I’m PSM I, CSPO, and Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certified.
