Doug Levitt is an independent product and delivery consultant with 40 years of experience in software and product development. He helps organizations improve delivery, organize complex work, and build practical processes and tools that help teams operate more effectively.
Over his career, Doug has worked as a developer, tester, designer, project manager, program manager, product manager, Scrum Master, Agile Coach, and delivery consultant. He has led cross-functional initiatives involving up to 100 people and helped organizations of up to 200+ people adopt lightweight Agile and Kanban practices.
His recent work includes redesigning Jira workflows and information models to track delivery commitments across 30+ enterprise customers, and building Python-based reporting tools for sprint health, support responsiveness, and data quality.
Doug's focus is practical improvement, not methodology for its own sake: clarifying priorities, improving visibility, reducing friction, and putting processes and tools in place that fit how people actually work.
