Processes

  • We're an Agile Scrum-based shop.

  • We use CCFs (Change Control Forms) to track/document deployments.

  • We conduct regular standup meetings, planning sessions, and retrospectives.

  • We host a monthly Block Party. It’s a meeting where all teams get together to celebrate our wins, share important company news and discuss the roadmap ahead.

  • Our technical teams regularly host events such as DEVCONs, lunch & learns, and product demos to stay updated on current industry standards and technologies.
