Difficulties They Experienced
BrainBite faced several challenges in managing its remote, cross-functional team. This team included UI/UX designers, marketers, developers, and QA specialists. Here are the challenges they faced:
1. Inconsistent Task Updates
Although BrainBite used Trello to manage tasks, it was hardly updated. This leads to the poor visibility of progress and completion of tasks.
2. Absence of Prioritization and Estimate
It was challenging to assign resources and determine timelines because tasks lacked time estimates. The team members constantly ignored high-priority issues like bug fixes in favor of less urgent tasks when priority was unresolved.
3. Limited Project Tracking and Visibility
The client was unable to monitor the feature development and project status in the absence of frequent updates. This made it even more difficult for them to keep an eye on and sustain the project's momentum.
4. Cross-Departmental Coordination Challenges
It was difficult to assign and coordinate assignments and due dates across the different departments. As a result, the project goals and aims were misaligned.
The Solutions We Offered
Here are our proposed solutions to the BrainBite.
1. Evaluation of Current Workflow
In the beginning, we observed and recorded their current workflow. We were able to find the loopholes in the Trello Task management by doing this.
2. Organizing Trello and Making Documentation
We modified Trello to improve task tracking in the context of our findings. For every department, we also made a complete guide on time estimation, task updates, and priority setting.
3. Introduced the Scrum Methodology (Agile Project Management)
Scrum methodology was introduced to prioritize tasks and speed up the project. This involved high-priority tasks, establishing goals, and making the user stories.
4. Putting the Scrum Framework in Action
Trello is completely set up to support Scrum. For effective task tracking, we included department boards, sprints, and backlogs.
5. Frequent Sprint Meetings and Daily Stand-Ups
To improve communication, we implemented sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and sprint reviews. We were able to establish precise timelines with the assistance of team members' time estimates.
6. Constant Monitoring and Feedback
By conducting frequent check-ins, we were able to react quickly to problems and maintain focus on high-priority tasks. The project was more accountable and in line with the needs of the client because of this feedback loop.
Results We Achieved
1. Improved Task Visibility and Accountability
The client had complete visibility into tasks and progress due to the rearranged Trello setup and frequent updates. This openness promoted responsibility and made sure that tasks were tracked consistently.
2. Better Time Management and Prioritization
Team members were better able to concentrate on high-priority tasks because of Scrum's time estimates and task prioritization. Bug fixes and other urgent tasks were completed quickly, reducing delays and making sure of a more efficient workflow.
3. Simplified Collaboration and Communication
Open communication was promoted by frequent sprint meetings and daily stand-ups. Members of the team improved cooperation and efficiency in leading a remote, multi-departmental team by agreeing on objectives, communicating progress, and resolving challenges.
4. Quick Delivery and Consistent Project Progress
The team was able to meet project milestones on schedule as a result to the new procedure. By giving the client a clear picture of feature development and schedules, BrainBite was able to maintain focus and build confidence in the team's performance.
5. Improved Productivity and Efficiency
The project management process was improved by implementing Scrum best practices and establishing a feedback loop. This change increased output and facilitated BrainBite's expansion and objectives.
