Episode 2 Results and "Scrum: the art of doing twice the work in half the time" (Patreon)

Hey Guys!
We just reached 1000 patrons this month!
This is really fantastic because we launched our Patreon page just 5 months ago and we’re growing much faster than I expected. Even if we lose some of you this next month, I’m thrilled that so many people supported us this month.
I analyzed our finances, and we have enough money to support 3 new people on our team (besides the 3 trained people and the 2 recruits under training). I have to decide the 3 new roles we need the most in the team.
I’m reading a book about project management called “Scrum: The art of doing twice the work in half the time“. It talks about an FBI project from 2006 of replacing paper processes with purely digital workflows. The project cost +$400 million and had over 400 people in it and after several delays, the project was restarted under a new management style called “Scrum”. With Scrum, they cut the team size to 45 people, the new budget was 10x lower, and the productivity increased by 300%.
As I read the book, I’ll be implementing this new knowledge into our small team and I’ll keep you updated about our progress.
It’s an honor having you as our patron in this journey. Thank you again.
Cheers,
Oppai-Man
