Overview

Looking back

“Operations came before screens. I designed around the effort it takes to upload content.”

Problems & solutions

  1. 1

    Far more requests than the v1 plan

    My call
    The launch date had to hold even as the scope grew.
    Solution
    Sorted and prioritized the requests and delivered them within v1.
  2. 2

    The operating workload was underestimated

    My call
    Content entry would be the bottleneck before launch, so I kept flagging it early.
    Solution
    Joined the content upload myself in the final stretch.
    Result
    Content upload was finished within the launch window.
  3. 3

    Operations and development continue after launch

    My call
    An archive matters more for how it grows than for how it opens.
    Solution
    Returned as PM for v2 and v3, leading operations and development together.
    Result
    Running steadily while building version 3.0.
