From a developer to a teamleader — Vitaly Sharovatov
summary
Leads a team of 11 and turns a slow delivery pipeline into a fast one: 200-item backlog cleared, deployment cadence moves from under one release per week to daily deployments, and legacy Android 2.3 and Windows Phone users are migrated to a new HTML5 web app. Implements biweekly one-on-ones, situational management training, A/B tests and delegated ownership, and measures success by preserved team atmosphere plus increased throughput.
