A few months ago my husband and I announced that we were expecting in February 2017. Being the geeks we are, we announced “It’s a boy!” soon after with a line of binary code (that truly drove our families and not-so-geeky friends nuts trying to figure that one out).
It wasn’t long before I became overwhelmed by the sheer number of activities needed to prepare for Baby Davis’ arrival, involving nursery and supplies, classes and books, doctors and tests, and everything in between. I’m convinced the gestation period for a baby is 9 months because the preparations take equally as long.
Being the proud agilist I am, I quickly turned to agile. Yes, that’s right, agile can be applied to pregnancy too! Here for your amusement and enlightenment is the first draft of my Baby Davis Trello board complete with a backlog organized by trimester. Enjoy!
About Stephanie Davis
I’m currently VP of Innovation & Delivery Enablement at NMI, where I get to work at the intersection of strategy, delivery, and transformation. I lead an incredible team responsible for portfolio, program, and project management—and we’re also driving some of the most exciting shifts in how we work through AI, Agile Ops, and automation.
At the core, I’m passionate about making things work better—whether that’s helping teams deliver with more clarity and confidence, modernizing how we operate, or scaling new ways of working across the business. I love connecting big-picture vision with practical execution, and I take pride in creating the conditions for people and ideas to thrive.
I believe transformation isn’t just about process or tech—it’s about mindset. And the most powerful results come when we combine innovation with intentionality, and execution with joy.

This is incredible. I am the Director of Interactive at Whiteboard.is and have pioneered bringing agile methodologies and Trello to our Web App Team for rails design and development, and am now expanding it into our Marketing Team’s ceremonies & project processes. I also just found out I am pregnant and am 11 weeks along. I will so be doing an “agile” pregnancy. 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration.
