Account Planning Intelligence Platform
Consolidating fragmented spreadsheets across 300+ accounts into one governed Canvas application.
45D → 20D
300+ ACCOUNTS (−56%)
THE BUSINESS PROBLEM
Account leaders across 300+ internal accounts tracked planning data in disconnected spreadsheets and email threads, causing a 6-week reporting lag, version conflicts, and zero real-time executive visibility.
BA & ARCHITECTURE EXECUTION
01
Led multi-track stakeholder discovery workshops to map pain points and unify account KPI definitions.
02
Designed a normalized Dataverse relational schema and intuitive multi-screen Canvas App information architecture.
03
Scoped and owned a 6-sprint Agile backlog with clear acceptance criteria and traceability from BRD to UAT.
04

AI & Automation Discovery Framework
A standardized decision framework to judge which business processes belong in GenAI, RPA, or manual ops.
−60% TIME
4 PRACTICE AREAS
THE BUSINESS PROBLEM
Teams were pitching GenAI for deterministic rule problems and traditional automation for unstructured judgment tasks — burning weeks in discovery without a consistent qualification rubric.
BA & ARCHITECTURE EXECUTION
01
Authored a weighted evaluation rubric scoring data readiness, exception rate, compliance risk, and ROI.
02
Built visual decision trees routing candidate processes to Copilot Studio / LLM, Power Automate, or SOP redesign.
03
Created reusable discovery workshop prompt templates to extract user stories and edge cases from transcripts.
04
Trained BAs across 4 practice areas and institutionalized the framework as the standard intake gate.

THE BUSINESS PROBLEM
Every new Power Platform engagement spent 5 to 6 weeks translating workshop notes into formatted BRDs/FRDs, low-fidelity wireframes, and boilerplate Dataverse/Canvas scaffolding before developers could build.
BA & ARCHITECTURE EXECUTION
01
Engineered a Claude Code workflow that ingests raw workshop notes and outputs structured BRD/FRD/PRD drafts.
02
Automated generation of interactive HTML/CSS screen mockups so stakeholders validate UI flows in workshop #2.

Paired Playwright browser automation with Claude Code CLI to translate acceptance criteria directly into test scripts.
02
Used Copilot Studio to assist analysts in triaging test failures and updating selectors when UI changes shipped.

The 3-Phase BA Delivery Playbook
05 / 08P. 01 / 03 · PHASE I · DISCOVERY & TRIAGE
Turn Messy Problem Statements Into a Decision Tree
Before writing a single user story, I align business sponsors and ops users on what problem we are actually solving — and whether it needs GenAI, deterministic automation, or a simpler process.
Structured Stakeholder Workshops
BPMN 2.0
Walk the floor with Finance & Ops SMEs; capture happy paths, exceptions, and SLA bottlenecks.
AI vs. Automation Qualification
−60% DISCOVERY
Score processes against our 4-practice Discovery Rubric so teams build the right solution first time.
MVP Scope & KPI Baseline
OKRS & KPIS
Lock measurable baseline metrics (cycle days, manual touchpoints, reconciliation SLA) before Sprint 1.
RULE #1: Never automate a broken manual process without questioning the steps first.
P. 02 / 03 · PHASE II · LIVING SPECS & SCAFFOLDING
Bridge Business Intent & Build in Days, Not Weeks
Traditional 80-page BRDs go stale before development starts. I pair structured requirements traceability with AI-assisted prototyping so stakeholders see and touch the workflow early.
AI-Assisted BRD / FRD / PRD
CLAUDE CODE
Use Claude Code templates to turn workshop transcripts into traceable requirements and edge-case matrices.
Interactive Mockups in Workshop #2
< 1 WK SCAFFOLD
Generate working UI prototypes straight from specs so business owners validate screens before build.
Dataverse & Ecosystem Architecture
DATAVERSE
Design clean relational tables, role-based security, and Power Automate / Copilot Studio handoffs.
RULE #2: A working prototype in week 1 saves three change requests in week 8.
P. 03 / 03 · PHASE III · AGILE DELIVERY, QA & ADOPTION
Ship With Confidence & Measure Real Adoption
Accountability doesn't end at code freeze. I run the ceremonies, automate regression cycles, coordinate UAT sign-off, and track post-launch adoption in Power BI.
End-to-End Agile Ownership
AGILE LEAD
Prioritize the backlog, unblock developers daily, and translate technical trade-offs for leadership.
Playwright + AI Regression Suite
3D → 4H QA
Convert acceptance criteria into automated Playwright scripts — shrinking 3-day regression to 4 hours.
Executive Power BI Telemetry
POWER BI
Track active adoption, cycle-time savings, and SLA compliance across 300+ accounts post go-live.
RULE #3: Definition of Done = adopted by users and moving the metric we promised.
