01 · Problem

The problem behind the problem

02 · Decisions

How I turned context into action

  • Created a gamified maturity-tracking experience inspired by the Kanban Maturity Model.
  • Ran workshops and mentoring on Scrum, Kanban, value slicing and technical feasibility.
  • Supported product people in using SQL, Metabase and cloud data services to gain independence.
  • Brought technical, commercial and telecom-partner areas closer together for continuous improvement of the chain.

03 · Metrics

Results and observed signals

  • Perceived quality of team health improved by more than 57%. How it was measured: Conflict management and continuous-improvement rituals across people at different levels.
  • Operational capacity increased by 35%.
  • Base across major telecom carriers expanded by more than 25%.
  • More than 85% of merchants converted to electronic payment methods.
