Challenges
Billing
Carnival required a very well defined quarterly statement of work prior to the beginning of the quarter. In addition, they asked us to provide a daily recap of what each designer accomplished with the links to the files or images.
I would create a spreadsheet with the items we planned on tackling at the prior to the beginning of each quarter.
Using the spreadsheet, I would create a statement work that we submitted for approval to the Leadership team.
Once approved, I would add the items as user stories to the backlog in Jira. I would assign the work to the design team of prior to the, and we would meet daily to do design reviews to cover progress, showcase the work, discuss, and offer feedback to any challenges and set-backs.
I used slack to track daily progress and to communicate with the team real-time.
At the end of each month, I would submit our daily activity summary to the Carnival leadership team.
Streamlined daily report.
