Digital team sprint notes 19 April - 16 May
20 May, 2016This post was originally published on The University of Bath's Web Services Blog.
Last week we said goodbye to our Digital Supporter, Chris Shimmin-Vincent, who has joined our colleagues in Computing Services as their new Service Manager for IT Literacy. Good luck Chris!
For the next two months we have a temporary Digital Supporter, Richard Massey, helping us out until we appoint a permanent replacement.
We missed our last couple of Sprint Note slots due to illness, so let's see what we've been missing:
