Formalized process of project development:1.1. Added 0 Sprint to each project. Each zero sprint goes before the development begins and takes 3 weeks (same as development sprints). Its main purpose is to determine the global concept and purpose of the startup, find possible options for monetization and promotion, prepare a detailed roadmap (by user stories) for near-future development and high-level roadmap for product in general. To help that process we use such tools as:- Canvas Business Model, to understand users of new product, their problems and find solutions to them.- Story Mapping, to decompose our product in user stories- Matrix analysis for all features such as Frequency/Adoption, Effort/Reward, Dev Cost/User Value etc, to create accurate Roadmap1.2. Split the development department into small scrum teams. Besides making it possible to implement Scrum methodology to each team/project, crucial change is that before people were assigned to project, now - project assigns to a whole team. This allows to build a team-based organization with all benefits of it.1.3. Changes to development process and scrum artifacts implementation:- Sprint planing now primary goes by user stories and epics with end user value, and not by technical tasks anymore - Implemented story points estimation- Shaped all necessary scrum artifacts: daily scrums, sprint demos, retrospectives, scrum poker Show less - Combining Product Owner+Scrum Master+Project Manager. - Approaching "Lean Startup" philosophy to each project. - Project management with 3-weeks sprints and all Scrum artifacts.

Approx. duration - 3-4 months to mvp. - All my projects successfully released - Introduced new tools to company, such as Tempo plugins for Jira, Confluence, Slack Show less
