Benachrichtigungsdienst für Kunden
In diesem Projekt gab es grobe Anforderungen des Managements an einen neuen Benachrichtigungsdienst. Basierend auf diesen Anforderungen musste das Projekt dann detaillierter ausgearbeitet und spezifiziert werden. Die gesamte Konzeption erfolgte daher in Abstimmung mit dem Management. Anschließend wurde die Entwicklung durch alle Phasen von Backend und Frontend als Product Manager und Owner begleitet.
Kunden-CMS
Die Migration des Kunden CMS und somit das Herzstück des Kundencenters war bereits ein laufendes Projekt, welches jedoch nicht wirklich vorangetrieben wurde. Nach einem internen Wechsel durfte ich das Projekt übernehmen, da auch hier diverse Abhängigkeiten zum Benachrichtigungsservice bestanden. Innerhalb kürzester Zeit konnte dann die gesamte Migration effizient und transparent gegenüber dem Management umgesetzt werden.
Für beide Projekte standen mir insgesamt ca. 12 Entwickler in Belgrad und Zürich zur Verfügung. Raportiert wurde regelmässig an das gesamte C-Level.
