Building a Data-driven Delivery Organization

Reliable decisions require reliable data. I designed and implemented an enterprise reporting ecosystem that consolidated information from Jira, Salesforce (SFDC), Kantata, and other business systems into executive dashboards that provided real-time visibility into delivery health, capacity, priorities, dependencies, and organizational performance. These reporting solutions became trusted decision-making tools for leadership across multiple enterprise organizations.

Business Challenge

As the Professional Services Practice Development organization expanded globally, leaders lacked a consistent, trusted view of delivery health across teams.

Reporting was fragmented across multiple systems, manually assembled, and often tailored to individual audiences rather than providing a single source of truth.

Without reliable visibility into delivery metrics, capacity, dependencies, and organizational trends, leaders faced challenges making timely, data-driven decisions and identifying opportunities for continuous improvement.

Capabilities in Action

Designed and implemented an enterprise reporting ecosystem that transformed operational data into meaningful business intelligence.

I partnered with cross-functional stakeholders to identify reporting needs, standardize metrics, and develop more than 30 executive dashboards integrating Jira, Salesforce (SFDC), Kantata, and other enterprise systems.

The reporting framework provided real-time visibility into delivery health, roadmap progress, engineering dependencies, capacity planning, Agile maturity, and organizational trends while establishing a trusted single source of truth for leadership across multiple enterprise organizations.

Rather than simply reporting historical data, the dashboards were designed to drive proactive decision-making, identify emerging risks, and continuously improve organizational performance.

What It's Like to Work with Me

"On the chance Sheila would be able to help me create a dashboard to track Jiras for one of my customers... I reached out to her yesterday afternoon.

When Sheila heard what was needed, she 100% understood the need and in a matter of hours was able to deliver a fully functional and detailed Jira Dashboard. This dashboard will be consumed by multiple teams that support [the customer] and will help our teams to focus on the most important issues that will drive success for [the customer].

Thank you Sheila; it's refreshing to work with someone who is expert in their field and whose competence equals that expertise."
