Despite University commitments, the team managed to achieve the established objectives, effectively managing time and planning activities. One of the fundamental tools that made this possible is the Stand-up Meeting, whose main purpose is setting daily tasks.

Despite being out of my comfort zone (Aerospace Engineering is not really useful when developing Apps), I managed to reinvent my role within the team, trying to respond proactively to challenges appearing during the project – leveraging all my skills to achieve the goals.

By learning and understanding the Agile Method and applying its principles on a weekly and daily basis – such as learning by doing, deliver outputs at short notice, adapt easily to changes and feedbacks.

By researching, collecting, analysing information and discussing it with the company, in order to develop solutions for complex problems and interpret data to gain more insights about the market.

By working in a heterogeneous team from different backgrounds, defining weekly goals and tasks, and improving effective communication and tasks allocation.

By deeply identifying and understanding the underlying issues and then implementing and evaluating the potential solution implementing a plan – through brainstorming, discussion and creative thinking.

By communicating continuously, sharing information during the project development, and providing weekly presentations regarding the team’s results and achievements.

The entire project was carried out by managing three different layers of the solution:

1. Technical issues, related to App development
2. UX/UI of the App
3. Business issues, including market analysis and pricing strategy
