EPIC Agile Delivery Manager

1. Core Purpose To lead the technical transition of onshore SQL Database resources into certified Epic ODBA and Cogito professionals. You will manage the dual-track of Technical Environment Build (Infrastructure) and Workforce Transformation (Training), ensuring the "Human Capital" is as ready for Azure as the "Platform" is. 2. Key ResponsibilitiesA. Workforce Transformation & Training Roadmap • Skills Gap Mapping: Assess existing onshore SQL DB skills against the rigorous requirements of Epic's Chronicles (ODB) and Clarity/Caboodle (Cogito) architectures. • Certification Management: Design and enforce a strict training timeline to ensure all team members achieve Epic ODBA and Cogito Fundamentals certifications by the May-26 deadline. • Knowledge Retention: Strategy development to ensure "Onshore" remains the primary support model, reducing dependency on external consultants and keeping intellectual property within the Trust/Organization. B. Technical Sprint Planning (Azure & Epic) • Backlog Grooming: Translate complex Epic infrastructure requirements (e.g., setting up the Cogito Data Warehouse on Azure) into digestible Agile user stories. • Sprint Execution: Lead the "Tech-Build Squad" in the deployment of ODBA environments, ensuring high-availability and disaster recovery protocols align with Barclays/NHS standards. • Dependency Mapping: Coordinate with the Azure Platform Engineers to ensure the underlying storage and compute are optimized for the heavy I/O demands of an Epic database. C. Onshore Resource Coordination • Squad Leadership: Act as the Scrum Master/Delivery Lead for the onshore SQL-to-Epic transition team. • Stakeholder Liaison: Work closely with Magda (Data Mgmt) and Vibhor (Purview) to ensure the Cogito reporting layer integrates seamlessly with the Purview data governance framework. • Performance Tracking: Monitor "Velocity" not just in terms of code, but in terms of learning milestones and certification pass rates. 3. Required Technical Background • Legacy SQL Mastery: Deep understanding of SQL Server, T-SQL, and traditional ETL processes. • Epic Ecosystem Knowledge: Familiarity with the Epic 3nd-tier architecture (Caché/IRIS, Clarity, Caboodle). • Azure Infrastructure: Understanding of Azure SQL Managed Instances, Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS), and Synapse Analytics. • Agile Proficiency: Expert level in Jira/Azure DevOps (ADO) for tracking technical delivery. 4. Critical Success Factors (The "Definition of Done" for Jun-26) Certification: 100% of identified onshore SQL staff are ODBA/Cogito certified. Environment Readiness: The Cogito Data Warehouse is fully provisioned on Azure and passing performance stress tests. Governance: All new Epic data structures are registered and classified within Microsoft Purview.
