Working with more than 70 people in the Product Group our Scrum Masters had to facilitate two or three events almost every day.

Maryna Zhydenko and Kate Vekova realized that they took on most of the meeting ownership and decided to share the responsibility. That’s how the idea of a facilitation school was born🎓

If you are looking for a boost to launch internal training in your company, in this article you’ll find both inspirational and practical advice.

This is Maryna and Kate, ManyChat Scrum Masters, and we’d like to share our experience of building an internal school.

Analytics gives you the possibility to ask questions about your business and get reliable answers and actionable insights, but it always takes much effort to create a proper data analytics system🦾

Shopify is one of the leading platforms for creating online stores. As we create a service for eCommerce, we’ve decided to integrate ManyChat with it.

In this article, Evgeniy Zhukov, Backend Developer, ManyChat, told how a quick-and-dirty MVP evolved throughout the year, became one more stream of our product development, added multiple functionalities, and eventually reached its freeze🧊

We touch upon the versioning problem we faced at the start and how we solve it, and what metrics we used to understand if this integration should be scaled or not.

My name is Evgeniy, I’m a backend developer at ManyChat. I would like to share our experience in integrating with Shopify.

At ManyChat, organizational and business processes are constantly changing. Scrum Masters have a direct impact on those changes🙌🏻

Last year, Irina Srypnik, our Agile Lead, interviewed about 40 potential Scrum Masters, and only one of them joined the team.

We know how hard it’s to find a person who has the necessary knowledge, relevant experience, and right-thinking strategies to effectively make business changes. That’s why we decided to share our experience to help you find the right people.

imagine we have to analyze some data about the items clients see in a list on your web application. It can be search results, items for sale, most relevant posts in the news feed, or a list of new conversations for customer support🤔

If you work with big data and there are few analysts who want to do the same operation the same efficient way, data modeling is here to help.

Nikolay Golov, Head of Data Engineering, ManyChat, talks about the way to simplify queries, save the budget and make life easier for your analytics team.

In this article I’d like to illustrate how the technologies of modern data stack let analysts search for insights without any modeling

Most of the data modeling problems are not problems anymore, they can be easily solved with the help of the modern data stack. Sounds good, but it seems like there should be something wrong with it. Usually, when we get rid of a number of difficulties, other problems come out right away.

Nikolay Golov, Head of Data Engineering at ManyChat, proposes to discuss do we really need Data modeling in the world of the Modern Data Stack today, what approach is better to use and who you should think about when you build an analytical platform.
