Team Management
- Business / Team Leader / Decision making
Project Summary
I manage a small team of individuals to deliver new products & services for UGX-Mods. Over the years we tried different techniques and solutions, but sticked with the Atlassian tools which covers our needs. We tried a lot of communication tools and use Discord atm, as it's a great tool for internal and external communication with the community.
Project Details
- Using Atlassian tools since 2013
- Jira & Confluence Cloud
- Custom Website to access Jira via REST API to display roadmap to users.
- Communication with Discord
- Small team of individuals across multiple timezones (USA / Europe)
Project Information
I use Jira & Confluence since 2013. In 2024 we moved to the Cloud (due to discontinued server versions for small teams)
Thanks to Agile SCRUM / Kanban I know exactly how well the projects go.
The move to these tools in 2013 helped UGX-Mods to stay in touch across multiple continents, plan and achieve their vision for their product(s) and service(s).
Documentation
Internal documentation with Confluence.
- Developer documentation to explain systems, discuss new features and document setup
- Staff documentation with onboarding guide and other helpful resources
- IT Documentation to get a quick overview about the infrastructure and lots of documentation for each service (install, update, backup, etc.)
Communication
Team realtime communication with Discord across different timezones.
Project Management & Agile Development
Project Management with Jira, Source Code Management with GitLab (git)
- Mostly Kanban, due to the nature of available time and broad projects
