How we work

While we try to keep meetings to a minimum to help us focus on the tasks we are working on (including having a meeting free day at least once a week), we have a few ceremonies that take place.

Every Quarter, we have a kick off meeting. This is an opportunity for us to reflect on what we have achieved in the previous quarter and to show ourselves how awesome we are. It is also an opportunity for us to look through what work is coming up in the new quarter and get us pumped for what lies ahead.

Every two weeks, the whole team comes together to have a retro. We like to mix up the theme of the retro and take turns to host.

Once a week, we come together to refine and discuss pieces of work. It is an opportunity for us to talk about the technicalities of the work and helps us to understand if there is anything information missing, how it can be completed and if there are any issues we foresee. We do this so that when we come to start the work, most of the questions have been answered and we can focus on finishing the task without anything blocking us.

Each morning, we have a short video standup to talk about the tasks we are working on and also coffee ☕️.

How We Organise

Sprint planning and product development roadmap is done through Notion with a gantt chart overview so everyone knows what is in the works. We run a Kanban style development process using Jira. Ticket refinement is often done as a team, and we like to use flow chart style planning for our new features. Our codebase lives in a mono-repo on GitHub and we run a rotating bug schedule. We are a big fan of doing regular releases to our production site so we can show off all the great work we do. We have recruited Bob to help us do this. Our friendly neighbourhood slack bot which allows us to do releases from a slack channel anywhere we are.
