DKV MobilityTeam Manager EV Services
Jul. 2021 - Jul. 2022Bucharest, RomaniaAs EV Team Manager I was tasked with leading my first Agile Scrum Development Team. During this time I learned a lot on what an Agile Scrum Team is and how it is performing in delivering Software Features and Solutions. I handled both the Team staffing as well as balancing Business and Project requirements in alignment with the Product Owner and the Solution Architect, hence contributing to the expectation management and achievement of Team commitments. The cultural aspect was also crucial as bringing together Team members from both Romania and Germany and achieving a good collaboration, which I am still thankful for the many great get-togethers and alignments on technical and personal level. One of the biggest challenges while in the EV Team was to streamline and update to the latest standard of solutions that were implemented however were not scalable, hence not in line with the Principles of Software delivery we set out to achieve. Also, one of the great challenges was the GreenFlux integration and alignment in order to make sure we are able to offer our customers the best services when it comes to EV Charging. Speaking of projects, the NextOpsEMobility project comes to mind as being one of the most ambitious undertakings involving several departments, including CPS and EV, in the quest to provide our customers with a complete solution for Wallboxes. Within the Alignment and Planning phase of this great initiative we were able to learn and adapt to collaborating with different teams and technologies and many valuable details came to light which helped us improve our concept.
