Hello!

My name is Igor Filipyev. I am an Accredited Kanban Consultant at the Kanban University, USA. And this is a very short story about my IT-career.

In 2006, I graduated from the Taganrog State University of Radio and Electronics with a bachelor degree. During a few years after graduation I worked as a desktop support engineer at The Technical and Engineering Center (Gazprom Transgaz Stavropol, Ltd.) in my native town Stavropol, Russia. Also in the parallel with this I founded the Web Studio “26” – a business for the development, support and SEO services of the websites.

In 2012, I moved to Moscow, Russia and worked for four years as an IT Project Manager of the Client’s Personal Area and later as a Data and System Analyst in the Software Development Department (Alpari, RU).

In 2015 I plunged into the world of Agile. I made my first experiments with the Kanban-Method at Alpari as an IT Project Manager. Later I gained experience as a Scrum Master in the team of the Alfa-Click Internet Bank (Alfa Laboratory, Alfa-Bank).

In 2018, I moved to Home Credit and Financial Bank to the POS Online service team (consumer loans in online stores) as a Scrum Master. After auditing the processes, I suggested using the Kanban-Method as the main workflow management tool. After consulting with the manager and the team, we decided to use the Kanban-Method approach. We had capacity of twenty-six people and demand of seven business units. I described the results of the experiment in post 1 and post 2.

After that, I worked as an Agile Coach at Scrumtrek, where I conducted a large number of open and corporate classes and workshops, and also worked as a consultant with various enterprise companies.

Then I worked as a Head of Agile at the S7 Group and I also conducted consultations at the Kanban School.

After S7 Group, I moved to SberHealth as the Head of IT Production. I managed a team of 11 project managers and one Scrum Master. My responsibilities included the company’s product transformation project, maintaining and improving development processes, and managing the project office and production across all product and service teams.

I’m currently a Senior Product Manager at Renaissance Insurance, managing the development team for a new personal account for legal entities.
