Team & Leadership

How I connect business stakeholders and engineering teams.

• 50+ cross-functional members
• 7+ specialist teams
• 5+ large-scale projects

The person in the middle

Frontend

• As a developer: Built cross-platform Flutter UI from Figma designs at 95% design fidelity, so I know what a good hand-off needs.
• As Associate PM: Allocated frontend work across concurrent projects on one portfolio roadmap.
• As Product Manager: Write the requirements and acceptance criteria the work is built against.

Backend

• As a developer: Integrated Spring Boot backends into the AttendEase apps, improving responsiveness and data sync by 35%.
• As Associate PM: Estimated feasibility and effort before projects were accepted, then allocated backend work across them.
• As Product Manager: Author SRS documents and PRDs that turn client needs into buildable requirements.

QA

• As Product Manager: QA signs off against the acceptance criteria I write, so engineering and QA share one definition of finished.
• As Product Manager: Coordinate with development and QA teams on Odoo MIS.
• As Associate PM: One of 7+ specialist teams whose work I allocated.

DevOps

• As Product Manager: Plan and schedule data migrations during server and database moves.
• As Associate PM: One of 7+ specialist teams whose work I allocated.

Database

• As Product Manager: Plan and schedule data migrations during server and database moves.
• As Associate PM: One of 7+ specialist teams whose work I allocated.

Security

• As Product Manager: Coordinate security risk analysis (VAPT) with the security team, report progress to stakeholders and set launch timelines from the findings.

Business stakeholders

• As Product Manager: Lead client requirement elicitation and author SRS documents, PRDs and acceptance criteria.
• As Product Manager: Run change control in ClickUp, recording in-scope and out-of-scope decisions in sprint and PI plans.
• As Associate PM: Accepted projects only after feasibility and effort estimates, with scope aligned to each client's goals.

How the connecting works

• Estimate feasibility and effort before accepting a project.
• Keep one portfolio roadmap: tasks, timelines, milestones and resource allocation.
• Allocate work across specialist teams so every project keeps moving.
• Today: coordinating engineering and QA on AttendEase and Odoo MIS, and security reviews on AttendEase.
