Too Long; Didn't Read
I first encountered the <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/scrum" target="_blank">Scrum</a> methodology, as an <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/agile" target="_blank">agile</a> way to build products, approximately 7 years ago. I had just started a new job in Paris at a new fangled startup as the mobile tech lead. I was going to be working on an iOS app. Up until that point in my career I had been exposed to several project management paradigms loosely based around <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterfall_model" target="_blank">Waterfall</a> or the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_path_method" target="_blank">Critical Path Method</a>, so to begin working with the iterative nature and the flexibility of Scrum was new and refreshing. I haven’t looked back ever since.
