I lead the first permanent "Mission Team" of Toggl Track. The team consisted of 2 backend, 1-2 frontend, 1 mobile developer, 1 product manager and 1-2 product designers. Our team's focus was to support Toggl Track's growth into SMB and enterprise markets.

Being the pioneers of Mission Teams in Toggl, we adopted and documented, in collaboration with the second Mission Team, a Dual-track Agile methodology to product development. Next to team leading I was mainly involved in the development track during this time.

Having accepted the position of Toggl's (now Toggl Track) Product Lead, my mission was to ensure the product moves in the right direction while also developing our product management practices to fit our fast-growing head count.

My team of 4-6 Product Managers and Product Designers oversaw the development of all of Toggl's applications. To support our rapid growth we created new product management guidelines, consolidated all of our knowledge management, procured better product management & product analytics tooling and implemented a new design system.

During this time Toggl also became GDPR-compliant, adopted company-wide OKRs, underwent a rebranding (Toggl became Toggl Track) and further expanded its interest into enterprise markets as well as business development and intelligence.

To enable smoother continued growth I was a strong advocate for a more cross-functional company structure, with which we started experimenting in 2019. Following the experiment's success, we were set to organize a lot of our product development around the yet-to-be-formed permanent cross-functional "Mission Teams". I took the task of leading the first of such teams.

I took over the leadership responsibilities of Toggl Track's frontend and built an international team of around 10 developers. We were responsible for the development and maintenance of Toggl's main application frontend, the public website and chrome extension.

As part of the effort of keeping the codebase maintainable I led the effort of rewriting the webapp in React & Redux. Moving away from Grunt and onto Webpack allowed us to do so gradually (shoutout to Filip). During this time we saw the number of active users of the webapp more than quadruple while the number of customer support cases dropped significantly.

Rejoined Toggl to work on the frontend of their main product this time - now called Toggl Track.

Our team was still small (2-4 developers + product lead / CEO, designs outsourced). I joined right as the new MarionetteJS & CoffeeScript-based webapp was about to be rolled out to all users and replace the old legacy app.
