Team setup
We embrace Agile methodologies in most of our projects. Many times it is our customers and partners who ask us to use Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) from the inception of the project. When the choice is left to our engineers, we carefully analyze the project specifics, and we propose a project management methodology based on Scrum or Kanban which best fits the specific project needs and context.
We had a core project team of 7 people: 2 backend developers, 3 frontend developer an 2 QAs. They were working in close collaboration with our customer team. As in all of our projects, we worked in an agile and flexible way, and depending on the project stage and necessities more people were relocated to this project.
We had daily scrum meetings with sprints and demo release every two weeks.
