Melissa Pruch - I have been with Mutual of Omaha for 13 years. I began my career as an HR Generalist but quickly discovered a passion for Information Technology. I have served as a technical Business Analyst on PeopleSoft, Taleo and Plateau, and I am currently working as an I/S Project Manager managing HR-Related Application Development projects. Most of my projects have been "ground up" portal application development, and I am currently managing our PeopleSoft HR Upgrade to version 9.1. I have been using Agile Development for 3 years, starting with one of Mutual's two projects piloting the methodology. I am a Certified ScrumMaster and have also received my Certified Scrum Practitioner designation. I have seen a lot of success using Agile and I am currently using it to manage several medium-sized projects. In addition, I have also been coaching other ScrumMasters here at Mutual as they begin their first Agile projects.
