Summary:
-
We work in six week cycles.
-
A cycle has 1-2 big projects, and 4-8 small projects.
-
Each big project has its own ad-hoc team, typically 3 people.
-
The designer on the team leads the project; there is no project manager.
-
We don't track time, measure efficiency, or compare actuals vs. estimates.
-
Ideas come from all over, from all of us, and are offered up any time.
-
To pitch an idea, the person does a writeup, and posts it to get comments.
-
The actual work organized by giving each big project its own Basecamp project.
-
QA work is done by two of our people who roam among projects all the time.
