About the Agile Team

Olga Murdoch - Director of Agile

Having first joined UCD as an undergraduate student in 2004, Olga has worn many hats throughout her years in UCD. Graduating with a PhD in Computer Science in 2015, Olga’s academic career included research internships, mentoring students, lecturing, and data science consultancy. Her keen interest in all things educational and technological led Olga to the role of Project Manager for the development and launch of the UCD Online offering. This role cemented Olga's passion for making the University a better place for all to work, to learn and to research. As a former Agile Lead, Deputy Director and a certified Green Belt, Olga brings significant Lean Six Sigma experience to bear on her role in developing and delivering Agile's strategy to support operations excellence and service transformation in UCD.

Donna Carroll - Agile Coordinator

Donna joined the UCD Student Health Service as an administrator in 2019 where she undertook Agile training and became interested in the tools the Agile unit had to offer.  After a brief stint away, she returns to us to take up the role of Agile Coordinator. This combines her experience of operations, facilitation and arts programme management with her love of innovation, public engagement and effective implimentation.

Before joining UCD, Donna worked in the Arts Sector for over 12 years, delivering award winning independent arts projects, Culture Night and Arts Office programmes as well as artist supports and grant information for the Arts Council of Ireland.
