Project Management Analyst / Scrum Master

Nakupuna Companies is seeking a Project Management Analyst / Scrum Master to support a multidisciplinary Agile DevSecOps team delivering Informatica data-governance and MuleSoft integration capabilities for NAVSUP Business Systems Center. The individual will provide disciplined Agile facilitation, project analysis, and delivery coordination so the team can convert PWS requirements and Government priorities into transparent, executable, and traceable work.

The individual will facilitate Scrum and SAFe-like practices; develop and maintain the Agile roadmap, integrated schedule, backlog, dashboards, and project controls in Azure DevOps; coordinate deliverables, risks, dependencies, reviews, and status reporting; and maintain the documentation workflow. The position will work closely with Government representatives, architects, engineers, administrators, cybersecurity personnel, data specialists, and external system stakeholders. Technical and security owners will validate substantive content, and Government officials will retain approval, acceptance, contractual, and funding authority. 

The following reflects management's definition of essential functions for this job but does not restrict the tasks that may be assigned. Management may assign additional duties and responsibilities to this job at any time due to mission requirements and reasonable accommodation.

• Facilitate Agile Scrum and SAFe-like delivery activities, including sprint planning, backlog refinement, team coordination, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and program-increment planning support, as applicable to NAVSUP practices.

• Develop and maintain the Agile Project Roadmap with the team, including the project scope, prioritized epics and features, integrated master schedule, major milestones and dependencies, PWS-aligned work breakdown structure, resource plan, communications plan, risk-management approach, quality-management approach, change-control process, and configuration-management approach.

• Administer the NAVSUP Azure DevOps backlog by decomposing PWS requirements and deliverables into epics, features, user stories or product backlog items, tasks, and defects while maintaining bidirectional traceability to the governing PWS sections and deliverables.

• Maintain current work-item ownership, estimates, remaining effort, status, start and finish dates, dependencies, acceptance criteria, risks, and approval status; configure dashboards and queries for burn-down, milestones, deliverables, blocked work, and risk visibility; and prepare required baseline and monthly ADO exports.

• Coordinate work across Informatica, MuleSoft, AWS, database, testing, cybersecurity, documentation, training, and sustainment activities; identify cross-team dependencies and impediments; maintain action and decision records; and elevate issues promptly with recommended options.

• Maintain the integrated deliverable schedule and review calendar; coordinate owners, contributors, acceptance criteria, draft and final reviews, comment resolution, resubmissions, and Government acceptance records without assuming Government approval authority.

• Prepare the Monthly Status Report and supporting management data, including staffing, accomplishments, completion status, forecast dates, travel, issues and recommended solutions, plan or schedule changes, overdue Government dependencies, staffing adequacy, knowledge-transfer activity, property status, onboarding, certifications, and required training; coordinate invoice support with authorized contracts and billing personnel.

• Maintain project risks, issues, assumptions, dependencies, changes, configuration-control actions, and lessons learned; assess schedule and delivery impacts; facilitate mitigation planning; and keep the risk register and related project-management documentation current.

• Interview technical and cybersecurity subject-matter experts and develop, edit, organize, trace, and maintain required documentation, including plans, installation and configuration guides, integration runbooks, API specifications, OpenAPI/Swagger artifacts, security evidence, architecture diagrams, backup and recovery materials, training products, governance guides, and configuration records; ensure responsible owners validate technical content.

• Manage document and knowledge repositories in Azure DevOps and associated wikis, including version history, templates, links, review status, publication, and traceability among requirements, work items, evidence, and deliverables.

• Coordinate training and knowledge-transfer schedules, materials, demonstrations, recordings, attendance records, reports, FAQs, action items, and documentation updates so NAVSUP personnel receive current and maintainable operating information throughout the period of performance.

• Performs other related duties as assigned.
