As a result of my educational course, I acquired
an understanding of software development methodologies. I also learnt about a variety of plans and registers that are of paramount importance in project management. As well, I became quite familiar with Scrum and Kanban frameworks. I constantly worked with Jira, tracking the progress, and writing user stories with acceptance criteria. In addition, I gained experience working with the Miro app, creating plenty of boards, and the GanttPro, planning and coordinating the projects. But my biggest accomplishment was establishing a friendly environment and trust with each member of my team. There, I had the opportunity to demonstrate my problem-solving, critical thinking, and leadership skills, achieving great results.
My educational project was called ‘Mandruy’, which meant ‘travel’ in Ukrainian. It was devoted to the development of an app that could be a potential competitor to ‘Tripadvisor’, having the same functionality, but dedicated exclusively to Ukraine and its places of interest.      
    For our project, my team and I implemented an Agile methodology, since the project could have been quite large and unpredictable. Along the way, we produced Lean Canvas and Mind Map as well as Outline and prototypes. To monitor the progress of the project, we chose the Kanban board within Jira Software. We also experienced the process of creating the Road Map of the project and the Gantt Chart. At the end of the course, we pitched our project and received valuable feedback from our mentors, which will come in handy in the future.
I fully understand that I want to be a part of an upcoming IT company that can provide an opportunity for further development and continuous growth.  I expect to work among talented and creative people, manage interesting projects and tasks, and this is my biggest motivation to choose this direction. In return, I am ready to achieve any goals and show my willingness and enthusiasm to become useful to the company and my team.
