Munira Omarjee

Delivery leader with 20+ years in software delivery, including over a decade running Agile/SAFe programs across enterprise banking, fintech, and other regulated environments. I lead delivery across multiple concurrent Feature Teams and Agile Release Trains — owning intake, PI Planning, release readiness, risk and dependency management, and stakeholder communication end-to-end. I work daily across Jira and Azure DevOps, track budget and vendor spend for program reporting, and act as the named point of contact for senior stakeholders across active programmes.

I led a full Waterfall-to-Agile/SAFe transformation in a regulated banking environment, and I'm comfortable owning delivery outcomes in complex, multi-team, integration-heavy settings. Systems I've delivered on have run on AWS. Currently available to start.

• Tracked programme spend and vendor costs for budget reporting, and supported change management under formal governance and approval frameworks, including the Agile Working Model (AWM) Charter.
• Built and maintained delivery dashboards (velocity, burndown, cycle time) giving Product, Engineering, QA, and Operations a shared, honest view of programme health.
• Managed dependencies and release coordination across sites and time zones in a fast-moving, custom development environment.
• Led customer journey mapping for a customer-facing application, translating pain points into user stories and BDD/Gherkin-style acceptance criteria.
• Coordinated incident triage and resolution in Jira, prioritised by business impact, with root-cause documentation for recurring defects.
