Every day begins with open communication with my team. This allows us all to understand what is going well and also identify the hindrances that need to be addressed. We collaborate to fully understand a problem that we have to solve and once fully understood, we transition into the solution design processes. When we are ready, the development or building of the solution takes place. The fun starts.
