Phase 1: Enterprise Agile Enablement
• Rolled out SCRUM/KANBAN adapted to regional teams
• Standardized tooling with Jira and Miro for real-time visibility
• Delivered over 100 Agile workshops and leadership coaching sessions
• Created internal Agile playbook, onboarding kits, maturity models, and health checks
• Launched a global train-the-trainer program to scale internal capabilities
Phase 2: Product-Centric Operating Model
• Mapped product ownership to business capabilities — not org charts
• Introduced product cards, stakeholder personas, and customer journey mapping
• Reorganized delivery around product squads with outcome-based charters
• Aligned OKRs and KPIs to business value delivery
What Changed on the Ground
• Teams became autonomous, cross-functional, and accountable
• Communication cycles shortened, and backlog priorities aligned directly to customer value
• Agile and product rituals became part of the daily rhythm — not side practices
• Leadership gained a clear line of sight into delivery pipelines across regions
Why It Worked
• Global frameworks were adapted locally — respecting cultural context
• Focus was on people and behaviors, not just tools and templates
• Tooling created transparency across 3 continents
• Outcome metrics were tracked consistently, enabling executive alignment
