Though my role expanded, I remained Project Manager on the full redevelopment of Teachstone's core applications. I worked with a team comprised of product owners, content experts, and developers both internal and external. Our external contract team was in Costa Rica. Success in this endeavor was not only measured by the release of a stable and consistent application, but also in the build up of confidence, teamwork, and trust across our company. With that in mind, I strove to help build a shared sense of urgency, and to communicate regularly and in many different ways (an example: I created a project blog that I keep up-to-date with project screenshots, release updates, and answers to questions), but primarily I listened and stayed aware of issues of concern and doubt, risk and opportunity, facilitating team decisions and solutions to keep us moving forward.On a daily basis I strove to:• Inspire, motivate, keep on track, and on task a team of developers supporting the mission of Teachstone and its clients/users.• Serve as ScrumMaster in an Agile oriented development environment with a priority focus on user experience.• Participate positively as a member of a strategic technical team tasked with software development, service support, tech support, and IT infrastructure.
