Use Case:

As the Principal Platform Architect at KanBo, I have led several successful software solutions projects that align with the organization’s goals and objectives. One of my most impactful projects was in the automotive industry, where we utilized our work coordination platform to streamline workflows and increase productivity.

I worked closely with teams and team members, both internally and externally, to ensure that we were aligned with the project and division goals. Through my leadership, I assigned technical SW skills, captured the “customer” needs before solving problems, and audited solutions to ensure that they met the needs of the business.

In this project, I led the architecture of the projects, ensuring that we used the best technology to solve problems. For example, we considered the CarPlay/AndroidAuto ecosystems, Alexa activities, Google Built-In, and other platform solutions. By referencing industry examples of pros and cons, we were able to provide the most effective strategies to our clients.

I also provided guidance and direction on mobile application architecture and system design, focusing on user-centered design. We built performant, scalable, and secure native mobile applications on Android and Android Automotive, which met the needs of our clients and exceeded their expectations.

To ensure that team members were successful, I assisted them with their SW activities, providing each member with the support of a skilled software veteran and enabling them to be their most effective. I also reviewed internal code and coding guideline and protocol, ensuring that our work was of the highest quality.

As part of the project, we utilized KanBo boards to streamline our workflows and increase productivity. With its user-friendly interface and intuitive tools, we were able to manage our projects and tasks with ease. We created boards and cards for our tasks, described the cards using available card elements, and categorized them. We also used board views to visualize the work stages, such as the Kanban view, which is focused on grouping cards according to predetermined criteria represented by vertical lists.

We also collaborated with others using boards, inviting other users to the board, engaging co-workers by assigning them to cards, and communicating through mentions in comments and the board chat. Additionally, we used the MyBoard feature to manage our personal tasks and visualize our personal stream of work, ensuring that we were always on top of our tasks and deadlines.

Overall, the KanBo work coordination platform was instrumental in the success of this project, enabling us to work efficiently, streamline workflows, and increase productivity. By utilizing the intuitive tools and features of the platform, we were able to meet the needs of our clients and exceed their expectations.
