There was no SCRUM at all in the IT department (120 people), and everything was yet to be built.The curiosity of managers proved to be an amazing opportunity to introduce SCRUM in the existing processes. It allowed Emmanuel to set up workshop, pilots, coaching and training sessions in various projects.The expectancy of the developers proved to be a continuous source of energy for all the changes mentioned above.On a more practical point, Emmanuel set up the first SCRUM team at EPFL for his project. Preparing the replacement of EPFL institutional repository (Infoscience), while filling the technological and security gaps in the current application in the meanwhile became a priority for management. In this context, changes were welcomed and were mostly successful (roles, sprints, demo, retrospective, collaboration and communication with the clients, i.e. librarians). Aside from being PO for Infoscience, Emmanuel has stepped in as Scrum Master for the CMS project since May 2017. That involved identifying, gathering and organizing the team first and helping set up the definition of done, the usage of GitHub and Travis, to have a real delivery process and manage expectations on all parts.
