Impact and Outcomes
During my time at Nonius, I brought several ideas that significantly improved our team's workflow and performance:
- I introduced the concept of testing to the team, which was not in place before. I studied various testing strategies, presented them to the team, and led the adoption of unit and integration testing, greatly improving our code quality and reliability.
- Brought the ideia of automation for task creation using ClickUp and GitLab, streamlining our workflow and reducing manual effort. This helped ensure that tasks were tracked and prioritized more efficiently.
- Reorganized project boards, implemented labels for better categorization, and revised the task lifecycle to ensure smoother project management and faster delivery cycles. These adjustments have had a positive impact on our team's productivity.
All of these initiatives were successfully implemented, and they significantly enhanced our team's performance, leading to improved efficiency, collaboration, and overall project delivery.
