Sherry McMillan, CBAP®'s Linkedin Analytics

I create positive change. I build teams; I build practices; but most of all, I build bridges. I love to create that connection between business and technology that allows us to build the right thing and build it right. I am an insightful and enthusiastic professional with a comprehensive understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle and what it takes to maximize it. I lead teams through growth and change so that they surprise even themselves with what they can accomplish. I hire and mentor a diverse group of productive professionals who are set up for success. I create and maintain a positive and fun work environment. I develop strong relationships with team members to ensure that everyone’s skill sets are fully utilized and we each have the opportunity to grow and succeed. I am comfortable working in both Waterfall and Agile methodologies (and variations thereof). I love streamlining and improving processes to make work more efficient and enjoyable. I love helping teams improve their throughput, and enjoy their jobs more, by implementing effective tools and processes to support real, meaningful, work. * Speaker - IIBA Global BA Day -Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in Business Analysis, Nov 2023 - https://vimeo.com/883434533, 25:05 * Speaker - White Rock Culture Crawl, Product Management for Creatives, Oct 2023 * Speaker - Project Management Business Analysis World 2019 Vancouver & 2021 Global Virtual. * Trophy winner of the RBA Hack-a-Thon. 2015, 2016, 2017 & 2019. * Judge, RBA Hack-a-Thon, December 2018. * Judge, UBC BizTech Ideation Contest, March 2020 * Toastmasters, Pathways Level 1, Feb 2021 * Speaker - LeanIn Canada, Beyond ERGs, August 2021 * Speaker - BAFringe, Diversity by Design, August 2021 * Author - My S's Are Messes, October 2023.
