Building a Lean/Agile board to provide visibility for projects built with GitHub.com and GitHub Enterprise. As CTO, I have worked to bring stability to the platform by coaching the team to more thorough code review practices; implementing Heroku Review Apps and a more active approach to continuous delivery; and a more deliberate approach to using HuBoard to build HuBoard, both for internal initiatives and in the Open Source development of our flagship web application. Beyond the traditional Kanban board we currently support, my goal is to invent novel approaches to using data developers naturally produce in GitHub to give new insights into work that has been done and work that is left.Alumni of Techstars Cloud 2016.
