Obafemi O.
Agile & Technical Project Manager | Jira, Notion, Scrum
I help software teams stop missing deadlines and start shipping reliably For the past 5 years, I've worked as an Agile Project Manager and Technical Product Manager, delivering 25+ digital products for startups and growing teams. I'm brought in when a team's backlog keeps growing instead of shrinking, sprints keep slipping, or developers and stakeholders aren't speaking the same language. On my last project, I took over a stalled 6-person dev team, restructured their sprint process, and got them shipping consistently within two sprints instead of missing deadlines for three months straight. Certified Professional Scrum Master (PSM I) , I run Scrum by the book, not by buzzword: ✅ Facilitate Sprint Planning, Daily Scrums, Reviews, and Retrospectives that actually move work forward ✅ Keep the Product Backlog refined and prioritized so sprints never stall on unclear work ✅ Coach teams toward self-management instead of micromanaging tasks ✅ Use sprint data (velocity, burndown) to catch risk early and adapt the plan before it becomes a missed deadline ✅ Protect the team from scope creep and mid-sprint disruption ✅ Run retrospectives that produce real fixes, not just a list of complaints What I take off your plate as a Project/Product Manager: ✅ Turn vague ideas into clear technical requirements and a backlog developers can actually build from ✅ Own the full sprint cycle end-to-end so your engineers just focus on building ✅ Track budget, scope, and timeline in real time, and flag risk before it costs you ✅ Set up and run your tools properly Jira, Notion, Asana, ClickUp, Trello, Monday , so your team actually uses them ✅ Bridge the gap between stakeholders and developers so nothing gets lost in translation Background: BASc, Obafemi Awolowo University. Certified Agile Project Manager and Scrum Master. Experience spans SaaS, product, and engineering teams . I am comfortable stepping into a broken process and fixing it, or building one from scratch. If your team has work piling up, deadlines slipping, or a process that feels more chaotic than agile let's talk about what's actually blocking delivery.
