Screenshot of an online whiteboard (details intentionally blurred) showing the structure and evolution of my project management approach: From 1) Time and team-based planning structure to 2) product-based planning structure with unstructured overview of current and future topical decisions to make to 3) a failed attempt at mixing them to 4) research/process-split and timeboxed work session allocation. The research board is divided into four main sections marked by circular nodes. For circular node “1”: Located at the bottom left, this section contains a large horizontal table containing many rectangular text boxes. For circular node “2”: Located at the bottom right, this section contains a long vertical table containing many rectangular text boxes. For circular node “3”: Positioned in the center between sections “1” and “2”, this node labels two horizontal arrows that point from left to right, connecting the table in section “1” to the table in section “2”. For circular node “4”: Located at the top left, this section contains a 2 by 2 matrix on its left side and a large vertical table on its right side consisting of two main columns and five categories containing many rectangular text boxes. Additionally, a flowchart with circular nodes is positioned at the top right of the overall layout. These circular nodes are connected to the rectangular text boxes by curved arrows.Evolution of my project management approach: From 1)Time and team-based planning structure to 2) product-based planning structure with unstructured overview of current and future topical decisions to make to 3) a failed attempt at mixing them to 4) research/process-split and timeboxed work session allocation
