Development methodology

Agile methodology with regular ceremonies such as sprint planning, sprint retrospectives, and daily meetings.

Sprints are two weeks long and require delivering between 15 to 20 sprint points.

Planning poker and Fibonacci scale for pointing tickets.

Deployment process

There is only a staging environment accessible since the product is still being developed.

Deployments to staging and production are manual and done through helper CLI commands from the local environment.

QA process

They have CI pipelines in place for unit tests and code linting, although they are not fully CI/CD.

The QA and review process is managed after the task is transitioned to the QA lane on their Kanban board and when a PR is prepared for review.

What I like the most is how the team collaborates closely and shares updates to achieve goals.
