About Michael

My goal is 🚀 to support clients, gather requirements and coordinate teams to create the web or mobile product to bring value to users and the company | Discovery | Roadmap | Scrum | Development
🏆 Creation of website and mobile applications
✅ Certified Scrum Master and Product manager

Depending on the progress of the project, here are the different steps:
🚀 Gathering requirements and Discovery Phase where we define the need by ensuring that it really corresponds to a need to be solved for your users.
🚀 Prioritization of the solution to be implemented
🚀 Definition of the architecture in relation to the functional and technical needs of the project
🚀 Roadmap to define the different features to be developed
🚀 Project management in Agile mode
🚀 Delivery and monitoring of the product

Today, we can combine different solutions to improve our daily lives as well as those of our customers (e.g. Google Maps, e-mails, IoT, IA, ChatGPT...). I always start from the user's need and then propose a functional solution and not the other way around.

The priority is to ensure that the product corresponds to a user need to guarantee the success of the company.
