DIGITAL PORTFOLIOOver the course of my career, I have worked on numerous projects responsible for planning, organizing and managing resources from different business units to bring about the successful completion of new websites and applications.The primary challenge of agile development is to achieve all of the business critical objectives while adhering to typical constraints — scope, time, budget and people, while delivering constant value back to the business. The secondary, and more ambitious challenge, is to integrate feedback necessary to meet pre-defined objectives and expectations.
