How I deliver
02 How I deliver
One delivery loop. Tools change; the loop does not.
- 01
Discovery
Interviews, rulebook, SOW.
- 02
Ready backlog
Definition of Ready, pointed stories, acceptance criteria.
- 03
Sprint
15-minute daily, WIP limits.
- 04
Release
Runbook, rollback, store compliance.
- 05
Friday demo
Executives unblock and decide.
- 06
Retro
Starts with what management got wrong.
Jira, single source of truth: GitHub PRs, Zapier automations, JQL views per team
Integrate before you ceremonialize
At TRIPP the GitHub integration and weekly PR reviews came first; sprints came once the team trusted the board. Adoption went from pushback to 1,000+ tickets a sprint.
A rulebook beats a requirements doc
On the clinical genomics platform the rulebook translates clinical language into technical rules and is the one document every clinician, engineer and AI specialist signs off on.
Path to Green, not war rooms
A slipping item gets a root cause, options with cost and time, a re-sequenced plan and a daily checkpoint until it is green again. Frequent MVP drops keep trust while it recovers.
Decisions only, no storytelling
Executives get visuals and the decision they need to make. Engineers get the tools to meet the timeline they estimated. Retrospectives open with what management got wrong.
- Status:
- dev 80%, API keys pending from client.
- Risk:
- checkout smoke test fails on Safari; fix ETA 24h.
- Next:
- QA pass, UAT Friday; change request if the pixel work slips.
03 Four hats
Product Owner
Roadmaps, pointed backlogs, acceptance criteria, MVP slicing, release planning. Next step in my career is owning the product outright.
Scrum Master
Ceremonies sized to the team, velocity and capacity math, working agreements, retrospectives that start with management.
Technical Lead
PR reviews, environments and releases, data pipelines, CMS and commerce stacks, accessibility and app store compliance.
AI and automation
Claude and ChatGPT for documentation, QA and hiring; Lovable and Figma AI for prototypes; Zapier, Make and n8n for the glue.

05 Proof
"Emilio is one of the most meticulous project managers I've ever met. He was always willing to go the extra mile, wherever we needed the help. He is well-trained in every area of Scrum and helped mentor our other Project Managers. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a rock-star PM!"
