Sunil Choppala
@sunilchoppala
Agile Delivery Lead & Scrum Master with 13+ years of experience driving remote teams, product delivery, and business value through Agile practices.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Scrum Lead/Scrum Master and Agile delivery leader with 14+ years of experience leading enterprise Agile delivery across Data Platforms, Analytics, Engineering, QA, and Product organizations. I specialize in delivery orchestration—sprint and release planning, dependency management, Agile governance, risk/impediment management, and stakeholder alignment—executed through Scaled Agile (SAFe).
In my current role as Senior Scrum Master | Product & Agile Delivery Lead, I lead product strategy, roadmap and backlog prioritization for enterprise software platforms, translating customer/stakeholder requirements into prioritized features and delivery plans. I own end-to-end orchestration across multiple Agile squads, coordinating Product Owners, Engineering, QA, Architecture and Operations to manage dependencies, drive testing/UAT/go-live, and transition to BAU support while meeting governance and compliance expectations. I facilitate Scrum ceremonies and SAFe events (PI Planning, Scrum of Scrums, Inspect & Adapt) using data-driven metrics like cycle time, predictability and flow efficiency to continuously improve delivery outcomes.
I’ve delivered measurable impact by managing large-scale programs and cross-team dependencies, leading 30+ engineers and multiple Scrum teams while improving efficiency and reliability. Previously, I led delivery governance and release readiness for globally distributed engineering teams, achieved 95%+ on-time delivery, reduced sprint cycle times by 20%, reduced release incidents by 25%, and improved delivery efficiency by 30%. I also drive AI & GenAI delivery—exploring AI-driven automation (including Cursor AI) to reduce documentation effort by up to 90%—and support compliance work such as SOX audit readiness, while strengthening change control processes to reduce release-related risk.
