Product Owner

Animates needed a new e-commerce solution, which would, apart from the shop frontend, integrate with their ERP and a number of different API data points, and include advanced custom modules tailored for the specific needs of the business.

I first needed to understand the needs of many different stakeholders, from warehouse operators on the ground, through marketing managers and third party SaaS suppliers, to C-level executives and their visions. Working with the technical lead, we researched available technical solutions, scoped out those that we need to build from scratch, and finally proposed an overall solution which would fit the client's needs, keeping in mind time constraints and budget.

I produced a story board and a backlog which in the end came up to 250 user stories, organized in three milestones and 12 sprints. The scope of work was sucessfully delivered in time and quality.
