@priyankapatanaik
I drive enterprise Agile transformations through SAFe, Scrum, Kanban, coaching, and measurable team improvement.
What I'm looking for
At Helius Technologies (Singlife), I lead Agile transformations, shape organization-level transformation strategies, and align PI objectives with business priorities. I coach Agile practitioners, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, and teams to strengthen collaboration, delivery, and continuous improvement.
Previously at Amadeus Software Labs, I coached leadership and multiple teams through Agile transformation, using metrics and KPIs in Excel, JIRA, and Azure DevOps. I created 20+ Agile delivery training materials and supported Scrum, Kanban, SAFe, user stories, ATDD, TDD, continuous integration, continuous testing, and BDD practices.
I also bring hands-on Scrum Master and quality engineering experience from ITC Infotech, Cognizant, and IBM. I’ve improved sprint velocity, reduced blockers, facilitated Scrum of Scrums, and used SQL and testing practices to support reliable product delivery.
