Organizing the team

Leading a team of 22 people, I played a key role in organizing our efforts. During each sprint planning session, we reviewed our progress over the past two weeks and adjusted goals and deadlines as necessary. Each sprint was ambitious, with large goals set for the team. However, by maintaining high motivation and clear communication, we consistently delivered on these objectives. Achieving these big milestones provided the team with a strong sense of accomplishment, fueling our drive to push for even more in the following sprints.

Scrum processes

Using Scrum was ideal for this project, as it allowed us to adapt quickly to new technology and insights. With two-week sprints, we continuously reassessed our capabilities and iterated based on what we learned. This flexibility was crucial in helping us navigate the challenges of unfamiliar technology.

I used Jira to manage the large team effectively, keeping track of who was working on what, identifying any blockers, and prioritizing tasks. Jira also streamlined our QA process. Once tasks were completed, I could easily assign team members to review and test them, ensuring a smooth workflow and maintaining consistent progress.

Documentation and Organizational Responsibilities

I was responsible for managing key project documentation to ensure smooth communication and progress tracking. This included creating and maintaining documents such as playtest reports, bi-weekly project updates, conditions of satisfaction for weekly build reviews, a risk log, high-level scope breakdowns, and expenses/budget tracking.
