Problem

• Project-oriented organization with limited expertise in Agile dev

What I did - Agile Product Owner

• Scrum master: Initially, I acted as SM, then I handed over a developer. I facilitated retrospectives on regular basis
• Product owner: I owned front- & back-end backlogs and grooming and review meetings
• Front-end focus: I spent most time leading coordination of design, sales, support, users, and front-end developers (architects and back-end developers helped with back end)

Results

• Newly formed team ramped up its velocity in few iterations
