The challenge
The platform was behind schedule due to unvalidated requirements, an unstructured backlog and weak sprint planning, resulting in high carry-over work and eroding stakeholder confidence.
Food-tech platform
Stabilising an at-risk mobile food-marketplace where unclear requirements and weak sprint planning had stalled delivery.

Timeframe
2023 to 2024
The challenge
The platform was behind schedule due to unvalidated requirements, an unstructured backlog and weak sprint planning, resulting in high carry-over work and eroding stakeholder confidence.
Approach
I conducted a full requirements revalidation across 40+ backlog items, applied MoSCoW prioritisation to eliminate noise, and rebuilt the sprint planning structure with clear definition-of-done criteria and explicit dependency tracking in Jira.
Outcome
Reduced feature delivery cycle time from three weeks to two (about 30% faster), restored product-engineering alignment, and established a delivery cadence the team sustained through project completion.
