Work History

Product Analyst

AccentureIn my role, I orchestrated the entire lifecycle of product execution, working closely with stakeholders to gather business requirements and leading a team of 12 UX designers in designing and refining 110+ user stories. I played a pivotal role in QA activities, identifying and documenting 60+ bugs for Front-End and AEM developers, prioritizing the building and deploying of 38 components across three releases for a platform redesign. Collaborating with a diverse team of 90+ offshore members, including Product Owners, Scrum Masters, and developers, I contributed to the development and authoring of AEM components. Additionally, I managed 15+ user testing sessions, coordinating schedules for 30+ participants, conducting recordings, and utilizing Otter.ai for transcript cleaning. The findings from these sessions were reported to client stakeholders, informing six future feature enhancements. My responsibilities extended to overseeing the bi-weekly remediation of 30+ Accessibility issues for the Accessibility Team of a client. I developed expertise in Web Accessibility AA standards and adhered to best practices according to WCAG 2.1. Leading the development of three Epics and organizing 14+ Features for the Careers Portal Redesign of a Global Professional Services Company Platform, I collaborated with stakeholders to gather business and HR requirements, effectively managing project timelines and prioritizing backlogs across multiple workstreams. In a separate project for a Fortune 100 client in the manufacturing industry, I created and refined over 80 user stories with detailed acceptance criteria for eight features across 10 sprints for an E-Commerce project. This involved active collaboration in Agile ceremonies with UI/UX Designers and an offshore development scrum team, ensuring the successful execution of the project within defined timelines.
