Details

ABC Academy of Music is developing a small business platform that incorporates, consolidates, automates, and has the goal of simplifying business operations. Some of the following are features: Calendar, CRM, True Omnichannel Chat, Process Automation, Extensibility, Billing & Payments.


The main goal for the project is to have 1-2 project managers running 4 two-week sprints for ABC Academy's software development project, coaching software development students from other post-secondary institutions on aligning to agile methodology for back-end and front-end work, as well as working alongside a UX/UI team to advance design work.


While not required, it would likely be of benefit to the Project Managers to have some experience or background with software.

Deliverables


The tasks learners will need to complete to achieve the project goal include:


- Coordinating and conducting Sprint planning/review/retrospectives and individual meetings/coachings with individual students


- Coaching software development students from other post-secondary institutions on aligning to agile methodology for back-end and front-end work
