Martins Liberts:
Hi. It’s Martins from Debitum Network. Nice to meet you again. Here today with me, Skaiste, our Product Owner.

Skaiste I.:
Hello.

Martins Liberts:
Sure, we raised $2 million in one minute. Surely, our crowdsale is going on, but I think what’s more important than that is the development of Debitum Network and what we actually do delivers ecosystem. That’s exactly why Skaiste join me today because she’s our Product Owner. I want to talk to her a little bit more about what we actually are doing, right? So, before we do that though, maybe you could explain a bit more what’s your experience in the area.

Skaiste I.:
As Product Owner, I was working with a real estate platform for Baltics. Also, I was working for very big international telecommunications and IT company. I owned the data centers, managed services, and cloud services.

Martins Liberts:
Wow, that’s quite a broad experience. How do you put that in use at Debitum and what are you currently doing?

Skaiste I.:
We are starting to analyze wireframes, almost done. We are starting to make designs for those wireframes, working with the UX, UI specialists. Also, started working with the team over with the tasks in Jira and so on.

Martins Liberts:
Okay. So we are preparing, we are doing all the basic preparation for further development.

Skaiste I.:
Yes, mostly I am … currently, I’m analyzing this Debitum Network.

Martins Liberts:
Okay, great. What’s most exciting at this current stage?

Skaiste I.:
Most exciting, I would say, it’s that I can participate in this project from the beginning and to hear more about strategy, to see how it’s going on, how we changed maybe some things, and so on.

Martins Liberts:
Okay, great. What are the qualities that may be … what you value in the project as a product owner?

Skaiste I.:
For me, as for product owner, the most important is maybe the quality of the product and also very important its end-user, his experience, and his feelings about this product, and using it.

Martins Liberts:
Great. Finally, I need to ask you, why Abra? Why is the first version is called Abra?

Skaiste I.:
It was a very interesting story. We were just discussing some strategy things and that we have to launch version one. I suggested that we should call our versions in some more interesting way than one, two, three like Android does and so on. So, we ended up with Pokemon GO. First, we will have Abra. It’s the little one. The second one will be Kadabra. The third, Alakazam.

Martins Liberts:
So you see, we are not only serious and finance guys but we also have some fun within our team, so I think it’s very great. Thank you for that, Skaiste.
