Production Board

Interactive Kanban visualization of the HashimaXR project management structure

Evidence of Production Sophistication: This interactive board recreates the Nuclino project management workspace used to coordinate HashimaXR development. The structure visible here—seven organized columns containing 38 documented cards—demonstrates that HashimaXR was not an abandoned prototype or incomplete concept, but a professionally managed production with comprehensive narrative design, episode planning, and asset organization.

The presence of detailed documentation for nine planned episodes in the "Future Episodes" column is particularly significant: each represents historical research conducted, narratives developed, and educational experiences designed but never shared with audiences due to institutional obstruction.
