Scrum Team - Project Manager
We are looking for students to play a role as the scrum team's project manager. A student in this position will understand the logistical aspects of the scrum team's projects based on information and mentorship from the We Write Stories team. We're looking for students interested in project managing the process of creating a book for a client from the onboarding to the finished product. Our main products provide a transformational experience for our clients while we create a book together. The client never puts pen to paper as we write the book. Consequently, many steps are needed to create something from nothing. Students in this position will be provided all necessary material, information, and access to software to overlook the scrum team's book project through a logistical lens. Students will help ensure the project's timelines are met by checking in with authors directly and communicating with the team. The student will play a key role in helping create a more efficient work process.

Assessing existing on-line training platforms and recommending the best platform for this course. Assisting in designing the course. Assisting in developing first iteration of course (minimum viable product) We have lots of existing content to share, so the project wouldn't be starting from scratch.

I am very open to ideas, suggestions, and creative input. If you like the sound of this project, and are ready to tackle this challenge, I'd love to hear from you.
