In November 2021, the IBU launches a MVP (minimum viable product) version this new website and the first-ever official IBU App. The role of Digital Projects Manager is to lead and manage the development of these platforms beyond the MVP launch, to manage the integration of biathlon stakeholders onto the platforms and manage digital transformation projects internally (member center) and externally (gamification, gaming) together with IBU's partners.
