The Faktory + Startups
  • 08/2016 - 11/2020
  • Liège - Belgium
AI & IOT (Big Data / Distributed)
  • With my agile experience, my primary goal was to make the executive and development team agile.
    I managed the development team and organized the development using Scrum and the DevOps culture.
  • The retrospectives helped the team to identify slowing factors like the lack of open communication or fear of asking help.
  • To improve the product mgmt and the communications, I used Jira as main tool, also for the executive team. It helped the team to organize their own tasks and to be more transparent and communicative about their progress.
  • I had local and remote cross-functional team composed of Data Scientists, Data Engineers, Developers and a SysAdmin.
  • The development of the product was organized using Scrum and DevOps culture (CI/CD, automation, ...)
  • In order to help the startups to organize their team and product development, I organized workshops about agility and Scrum, with the role of the Product Owner and priorities management around product value.
  • One start-up had difficulties to organize the work to deliver a connected object. I proposed them to help with using Scrum to better prioritize the backlog to deliver "user" value first before technicalities.
    The start-up could finally deliver a working product to be tested by their market to collect feedbacks in much less time.
