Points are months on the job. The team velocity is real, the board is a metaphor, and yes, Darren knows a résumé is not a sprint.

What went well · What I learned · What's next

🟢 Went well

  • Athena won a Good Design Award (2023) and is used by 70,000+ RFS firefighters and staff.
  • Westpac's rebuilt app has been Australia's #1 for performance and UX three years running.
  • Nano's B2B refinance product went from standing start to market in about four months.

🟡 Learned

  • Pick the tools and ways of working that fit the team, not the framework poster.
  • Tight scope and fast decisions beat a perfect backlog every time.
  • A good playbook turns weeks of onboarding into days. Kablamo's did.

🔵 Next

  • Keep building high-performing teams that deliver real impact and have a laugh doing it.
  • Fold AI and LLM tooling into everyday delivery, not as a gimmick.
  • BSc (Hons) Business Information Technology, Queen's University Belfast. EU, UK and Australian citizen.
