Sadia Siddique

Project Manager with an MS in Project Management and demonstrated experience delivering end-to-end projects for international clients - managing cross-functional teams, coordinating complex data operations, and keeping stakeholders aligned from kickoff to closure. My postgraduate research focused on AI integration in Agile project management combining a systematic literature review of 66 academic sources with a live case study inside an Islamabad IT firm. This gives me research-grounded understanding of how Scrum, Kanban, and Scrumban teams adopt AI tools in real delivery environments - and where adoption breaks down.

I bring an ownership mindset to project delivery: I identify risks before they escalate, build reporting systems that give decision-makers clarity, and coordinate across teams without losing momentum. Currently building hands-on Agile delivery experience through certification practice in Jira and Asana & Trello.
