At Nordex, as an Agile Developer, Traine and Coach, I improved the software development processes for a software engineering organization.
I trained Product Owners and Agile Coaches in the effective use of Azure DevOps to optimize their agile work.
The first task was to setup and optimize a Scrum workflow in Azure DevOps, which enabled more efficient project execution for a team of 5 engineers.
The second, significantly larger task was the migration from Jira to Azure DevOps and the consolidation of several Azure DevOps organizations into one. All tickets from Jira were successfully transferred, and more than 10 Azure DevOps projects were consolidated. This measure significantly simplified workflows in an organization with around 100 employees.
Another important step was the implementation of SAFe workflows and roles in Azure DevOps projects. In coaching, I supported Scrum Masters, Release Train Engineers, and Program Managers in effectively using these new structures.
The team at Nordex develops IoT solutions to manage wind farms.
Achievements:
- Migration of over 10,000 tickets from Jira to Azure DevOps
- Consolidation of 10 projects from respective organizations into a central project
- Migration of over 100 employee accounts from Jira to Azure DevOps
- Reduction of coordination time in PI Planning by 20%
- Training and coaching of 10 Release Train Engineers, Agile Coaches, and Product Owners
