  • Facilitate and coordinate large-scale Defensive & Enterprise Solutions Program Increment (PI) Planning events supporting more than 900 personnel across multiple Agile Release Trains (ARTs).
  • Develop planning materials, communication campaigns, stakeholder engagement products, navigation guides, and informational resources that improve participation and execution during PI Planning activities.
  • Lead development of After-Action Reports (AARs), lessons learned, and continuous improvement initiatives resulting from PI Planning and operational activities.
  • Engineer and implement automated workflows, dashboards, and reporting capabilities utilizing Atlassian Confluence and Jira to improve transparency, requirements management, and operational effectiveness.
  • Support establishment, maturation, and operation of the PEO JCWA Lean Agile Center of Excellence (LACE).

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
