Rockefeller Habits meet SCRUM
As Jason mentioned in his previous post, we are getting ready to kick off a busy summer quarter. With this, we have a new set of priorities and goals that we want to achieve. This is going to be our second quarter implementing the Rockefeller habits, we learned a lot the first time around and will be aiming to improve the way we track and score our progress.
One of the biggest changes we are making this time around is in the area of product development, implementations and support. Historically we have divided our development efforts into 2 distinct teams, a Product team that focused on building new features for our products and an implementation team that worked on implementing our products for clients and supporting those installations. As part of our recent re-adoption of Scrum project management, the entire group of developers were given the task of deciding on what kind of team structure we should work under. To make a long story short, the team decided on one group after much discussion, but the really great thing I’d like to point out is that we were given the option to chose for ourselves, this shows an amazing level of trust that is often times hard to find in the corporate world.

Another big change is that new team will be sitting together in one room, we feel this will not only help us as a group work together, but also to foster creative thinking and continually improve our products and processes. This also allows us to learn and feed off each other on a day to day basis. Learning is a never ending job for software developers and being surrounded by other smart people makes learning easy and fun!
We are all really excited about the coming months, and excited to be working on more great features for our clients.
