Congratulations to Rachel Gonzales – Winner of the Taking Responsibility Award

Rachel Gonzales implemented the Scrum approach to the CAD Department. The Scrum methodology emphasizes collaboration, team self-management and flexibility. Currently the team is using the Kanban (CAD Board) which is a work flow visualization tool that enables the cad staff to optimize the flow of their work. The daily Scrum meeting is used to verify staff workload and identify who needs help.

Thank you to Rachel for improving this process. The Innovation Incentive program at Swanson Rink has been around for many years. Previous examples included programming based efficiencies.

Swanson Rink will be completing our designs through the end of 2017, and construction will happen over the next couple of years.
