Engineering teams that use agile methodologies on Key Values

Carbon Five

Agile product development consultancy

San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chattanooga, and New York
We practice a certain flavor of Agile known as Agile XP.

We advocate frequent release of working software. Sometimes the hardest thing to put into practice for larger companies is pushing code continuously. We use continuous integration, do test driven development, and try to deliver something that has business value to actual customers as often as possible. We have weekly iteration planning meetings, where developers, product managers, designers, and the project owner (usually from the client’s side) come together to plan the work for the week. It’s an open, collaborative discussion to identify what the highest value work is and estimate each unit of work. We’re pragmatic about pair programming and leave it up to individuals to decide. Most of the people here have had 8+ years of experience in the industry, so we trust each other to reach out for a pair when needed. Some people pair all the time, some less than that, but everyone pairs some of the time. At the end of the week, we do a demo as well as a retrospective (with everyone from our team and from the client) to go over what went well and what didn’t go well this last week.

We optimize for velocity and impact.

While there are some shared guardrails and baselines, every team has the freedom to define their own working style and meeting cadence. All teams operate on a biweekly sprint cadence, and push code to production multiple times a day. Individual teams define their own estimation We also have a technical bootcamp to onboard them onto our technical stack and set them to build and push code to production. We also have a technical bootcamp to teach them about our technical stack and get them ready to build and push code to production. The goal for the first month is to set engineers up for long-term success, so experimentation and asking a lot of questions are highly encouraged!
