About
Becca Williams (she/her)
Experienced and pragmatic technologist who has led global, distributed teams of 20+ individuals on a seven-figure budget to deliver value through complex, modern software solutions in a DevOps environment.
Certified Scrum Professional (CSP), Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) and Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO).
I am a seasoned Scrum facilitator who has worked with co-located and distributed individuals across industries. From financial services and contract management solutions powered by Machine Learning to mission critical systems for grain milling operations, I thrive at setting teams up for success. I have a thorough understanding of the tools, processes and emotional intelligence required to empower remote teams, including JIRA, Confluence, Trello, Microsoft Teams and SharePoint, Azure DevOps, Slack, Zoom, and Agile Central (Rally.)
I have a creative entrepreneurial mind and often become the translator between business and technical teams and requirements, speaking both languages with ease.
At any given time you might find me facilitating a call or requirements gathering discussion, designing a workshop, giving kudos, watching and forecasting the budget and people hours, sending thoughtful, honest and diplomatic emails to clients, removing blockers, challenging the status quo, mentoring a colleague, designing wireframes, or building out research on diversity and inclusion and how to make social impact a core value in business.
