🇨🇦 Run-of-the-mill ad for a remote Sr. Scrum Master contract (1y) with a provincial government ministry outside of Ontario has come across my desk today. Qualifications: -->A Bachelor's degree and at least 8y of SM experience. -->Ability to describe two (2) projects you've worked on, including total dollar value, approach for the design, development, mitigation of risk and delivery of the project, paying particular attention to how you (YES, YOU) handled QA and communication across the team, and any specific tools or techniques used. -->Pass a criminal background check as well as higher-level clearances through the RCMP. If you have worked for GC Strategies, this is where you get off the ride. Requirements: --> Expect to do all the usual SM duties across three (3) teams, including training, facilitating all ceremonies, running cover for the team, writing reports, coddling the PO, coaching, creating burn-up/down charts, maintaining team metrics, conducting user interviews and field research (see below), reporting to the Province as directed, and more besides. -->Remember that I Love Lucy episode where she works on a chocolate production line and ends up eating the chocolates to keep up? She has it easy, in comparison. While the role is remote, you may be required to travel to the host province to conduct user interviews and field research. NB: THIS WILL BE DONE ON YOUR OWN DIME, BUCKO. Rate: $70-$90/h for a max of 1,960h (1y). Don't forget to subtract income taxes and flights, hotels, and meals for at least two trips. If this sounds like your dream contract, slide me a DM and I will hesitantly slide you the ad in return on the condition I am indemnified from damages should you get the role.

What is Business Process Mapping The Importance of Business Process Mapping Business process mapping (BPM) is a crucial tool for organizations of all sizes looking to streamline their operations, improve efficiency, and enhance overall performance and infrastructure. By visually representing the steps involved in a process, businesses can identify bottlenecks, redundancies, and areas for improvement. In this article, we will explore the concept of business process mapping in detail, discussing its benefits, best practices, and real-world examples. What is Business Process Mapping? Business process mapping, also known as process mapping or workflow mapping, is the visual representation of a business process from start to finish. It involves documenting each step in a process, including inputs, outputs, decision points, and interactions between different stakeholders. By creating a visual map of a process, organizations can gain a better understanding of how work is being done and identify opportunities for optimization. Benefits of Business Process Mapping Improved efficiency: By identifying inefficiencies and bottlenecks in a process, organizations can streamline operations and reduce waste. Enhanced transparency: Process mapping provides a clear and visual representation of how work is being done, making it easier for stakeholders to understand and collaborate. Increased consistency: By standardizing processes through mapping, organizations can ensure that work is done consistently and to a high standard. Empowered decision-making: Process mapping allows organizations to make data-driven decisions based on a thorough understanding of how processes work. Best Practices for Business Process Mapping When creating a business process map, it is important to follow best practices to ensure that the map is accurate, useful, and actionable. Some key best practices include: 1. Define the scope of the process: Before starting the mapping process, clearly define the boundaries of the process you are mapping. This will help you focus on the key steps and stakeholders involved. 2. Involve key stakeholders: Engage with stakeholders who are directly involved in the process to ensure that the map accurately reflects how work is being done on the ground. 3. Use visual symbols and notation: Use standardized symbols and notation to represent different elements of the process, such as tasks, decisions, inputs, and outputs. This will make the map easier for all stakeholders to understand. 4. Continuously review and update the map: Business processes are dynamic and can change over time. Regularly review and update your process map to ensure that it remains accurate... https://lnkd.in/gugVnbJc

Dear Canadian Community, What can you do if your RBC-assigned Business Relationship Manager isn’t responsive? I’ve reached out twice with calls, sent voice notes, and submitted two formal requests, yet still haven’t received the assistance we need. This isn’t the first time we’ve faced similar delays, which unfortunately led to losses for our business. Has anyone experienced this? Any advice or alternative ways to address this with RBC ? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! #BusinessBanking #CustomerService #SmallBusiness #RBC

Kudos to our Enterprise Data Engineering team!

The timing for us worked out beautifully. We are now prepared to capitalize on the enormous opportunities of genAI,” said Stephen Lee, Head of Enterprise Data Engineering at TELUS.
