The Winning Poker Network works in the Scrum Agile management methodology which differs from the traditional management methods used by competitors in the online poker industry.CEO Phil Nagy recognized the need to adopt a management style shift when he found himself micromanaging every decision, big or small. Agile methodology relies on individual teams and trusts that each is specialized within their pertaining field.Each team consists of a Product Owner, who has the vision for the product of value that they are responsible for delivering to the stakeholder or company. The product owner then passes down the vision of the product to the team members.Each team has a Scrum Master, who decides with the team what tasks should be accomplished within each sprint (a predetermined amount of time). The Winning Poker Network works in two-week sprints, at which point each team is expected to present what they’ve accomplished over that two-week period, for feedback from the stakeholders and other teams within the company.With such short sprint times, it allows teams to “fail fast”. Meaning if they are on the wrong track, they’ve only spent a short amount of time working on the product before they can be pointed in the right direction.Alternatively, Scrum Agile allows for complete transparency in that every team knows what the other is working on. Teams are graded on the number of story points they accomplish. A story point is a unit that measures the amount of time certain tasks would take. Units are predetermined by the teams.WPN staff have embraced the new methodology, which allows them more independence to try different things and gauge their effectiveness by presenting the product’s results by looking at key performance indicators for each project.
