June 2019 - December 2019 (6 months)
Bruxelles, Belgium
A 7-months compelling mission during which I endorsed several roles:
• My main responsibility as Product Owner for conducting the new release of Auvio, the VOD platform of RTBF. This old version has been revisited in an information distribution and user experience point of views, with a entire new set of functionalities, features, components and skin. Technical debt has also been reduced drastically. Objectives are being met with the achievement of a more professional-grade platform and better user retention 3 weeks after the release.
• The 15 developers team had tried for more than 2 years to become fully Agile but they were missing the necessary knowledge, structure and discipline to get there. With an Agile Coach hat, I set up a complete 3 months step-by-step process for the development team to become fully autonomic and efficient (including culture, processes and tools). On the business side, I developed a strict funnel process in which roadmap features are designed, elaborated and validated progressively by the portfolio team and PMs so to be mature when required to be handed over to POs.
• I actively participated to the implementation and process elaboration of a newly UX team, especially to match the very diverse nature of RTBF projects.
• I trained a developer who was volunteer to act as Scrum Master for the team.
