Agile, Scrum & Lean UX Methodologies 

I oversaw the launch of an entirely new Engineering website in 2017 through an agile development process.  

• Physical kanban sprint board
• Prioritized backlog management in Jira
• We've experimented with sprint duration; 2-week sprints (Thur-Wed), and 1-week sprints (Thur-Wed and Mon-Fri)
• Creation of scrum artifacts; definition of done, working agreement, daily checkins, and retrospectives

CONTRIBUTIONS
User Interviews & Research

Research-Based Design

From the very beginning of the website redesign project, we stressed the importance of an iterative design and development process that's based upon user research. 

• Student interviews to gauge friction in accomplishing critical tasks
• Testing representation of diversity in photography art direction
• Online survey of mixture of content on the homepage
• Student interviews to gauge usage of online handbook and student support resources
• Test user tasks through information architecture of core menus
