"The majority of my project and program management background lies within technology product development. Our teams are cross-functional and include project managers responsible for day-to-day operations, product managers responsible for product strategy, engineers who build the products, analysts who work directly with our clients to define their needs and translate them into requirements, and quality assurance testers who develop automated tests and run manual tests as well. Some of my teams follow scrum and have a specific product owner and scrum master roles.
I also oversee the work of resources that are shared across teams such as architects who help develop our framework and integration plans, database administrators, and our support analysts. Additionally, I monitor the work of our stakeholder teams when they have deliverables that are needed to support the product development process such as user training, contract negotiations, marketing campaigns, implementation support, etcetera."
