Sailaja is a highly valued asset to our software development team. She is calm, pleasant, patient, and focused on solutions rather than blame. This positive demeanor perseveres in a work environment where there is more work to do than can be completed and work in progress is subject to change in scope and unplanned disruptive work is injected into the team’s queue. In addition to her role as the team QA lead, she is the backup scrum master. She has executed the scrum master role in addition to the QA role for an extended period at the time of this writing – three months and counting. She executes her job responsibilities expertly and reliably, including translating complex feature requirements into testable acceptance criteria, executing tests with a high attention to detail even when required to perform highly repetitive tasks. She demonstrates a structured procedural thought process for problem solving. She is conscious of the needs of the business and developer team members and anticipates preparatory actions to support her teammates. She is self-motivated and demonstrates her commitment to the quality of the product. She approaches her tasks with a growth mindset and is an excellent team player. She collaborates well with other teams on the Agile Release Train (ART, i.e., SAFe Agile team of teams) to mitigate risks and resolve impediments. She communicates dependencies and impacts to all the stakeholders.

I hold Sailaja in very high regard both personally and professionally. Sailaja has the technical and interpersonal skills to excel (as she's done for years). She demonstrates a positive attitude and cooperative demeanor. Sailaja and I have worked together on an agile scrum team for years where she has proven her ability to see the "big picture" and road map leading to constructive conversations that directed us on the right course repeatedly. Her technical skills, automation skills and clear understanding of industry trends is commendable. I've never met anyone who shows more accountability and responsibility for her role while also proving her integrity and dedication to her commitments. In addition, she sought out her masters while working a full time job which proves her devotion to her family and her personal growth. An exceptional addition to any team (also VERY adaptable). Scoop her up before someone else does.
