Each team was going about it in its own way, and it was sometimes a challenge to follow and keep track of all the moving pieces on joint initiatives. Six months into the pandemic, we find ourselves in a much different situation.
We feel the energy, we hear the people talking about synergy … everyone has embarked full-heartedly into this journey and there is no looking back. We are effectively collaborating via MS Teams, laughing at a camera, sharing work items in Jira and Confluence, quickly changing our culture, and gaining much-needed resilience and agility.
If there is a positive outcome from the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s that it has been our highway to collaborate more and grow as a more cohesive IT team and University, as outlined in our core values in the Digital Campus Transformation Plan.
