  • Liège - Belgium
IOT / Communication gateway for aircrafts and boats
  • 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.

Startup Incubator
  • 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.

    The start-up could finally deliver a working product to be tested by their market to collect feedbacks in much less time.
