Nikola Usanović
@nikolausanovic
Agile team coach and certified product leader driving delivery and continuous improvement.
What I'm looking for
I am an agile practitioner and servant leader with extensive experience coaching teams, facilitating Agile ceremonies, and driving product and project delivery across banking, pharmaceutical, and software domains. I combine certifications in product ownership and product management with hands-on experience leading multi-team initiatives and implementing Agile tooling.
I've led complex projects including a Data Hub and AI-based measurement tools, collaborated with ten specialized teams, and supported Agile adoption through workshops and training using Jira and Azure DevOps. My background also includes hands-on Scrum Master roles where I delivered diagnostic and software products for healthcare clients.
Outside of IT, I bring a creative and collaborative mindset from a long career as a music producer, composer, and sound designer, which complements my strengths in facilitation, problem solving, and stakeholder communication. I am passionate about empirical research, lifelong learning, and helping organizations grow through Agile practices.
