thoughtbot currently consists of 14 developers and 5 designers. This summer, we organized into 4 smaller teams. We rotate teams every 2 months.
We started our third rotation this week, a moment which prompted the designers to create movie posters for their new teams.
The benefit of team…
“We manage our sales pipeline so that we don’t start new projects right before a rotation.
Another goal is for teams to work on as few simultaneous projects as possible. With our previous free-for-all, some people had to work on 3-4 projects a week. That’s too much context switching. With the rotations, it’s easier to schedule fairly and easier to keep the weekly projects down to 1-2 per team.”
Hell yeah.
Bits and pieces that caught my attention about the connected business and product development.
