Test Cards

Test cards help you to test and validate your business ideas by defining how you will test them, what you will measure, and what success looks like.

Design Thinking

Design thinking puts a user at the center of the product design. It means that users' needs and wants are prioritized first by taking an ergonomic and iterative approach during designing.

Release Management

Release management is the process of managing, planning, designing, scheduling, testing, controlling and deploying of a software build through different stages and environments; in preparation for software releases.

Jobs To Be Done

Jobs To Be Done (JTBD) is a theory for understanding the process of consumer life’s transformation. The usage of JTBD improves your product design.

Continuous Delivery

Practicing Continuous Delivery means that you adopt practices to be ready to release product changes any time you want. Your product is always ready to deploy to production.

Increased Cost

It is not an easy task to measure the cost of software development. Two projects are never the same, it can be a small application or a complex system. It is important to try to reduce the possible increase in cost.

Bad Product-Market Fit

Bad product-market fit means that the market does not want your product. Products the market does not want waste not only money but also the team members' time.

Disconnect Between Business and IT

Modern companies sometimes forget to focus more on the long term IT innovations. They make critical financial decisions without the correct IT-business insight.

Demotivated Team

Team motivation is important to maintain creativity. Employee dissatisfaction can be caused by many factors. The team leader’s job is to motivate the team and therefore create a productive climate.

Scrum

Scrum is an agile framework focused on a productive and creative delivery of complex products with an emphasis on the highest possible value. Scrum is lightweight, simple to understand and difficult to master.

Continuous Integration

Continuous Integration is a software development practice that makes developers integrate code changes into a shared repository routinely and frequently. Usually, each person integrates at least daily and that ensures them that their code changes do not break anything.

Pair Programming

Pair programming is a technique of two programmers sharing a single workstation. The "driver" writes everything down and the "navigator" watches and makes suggestions. They switch the roles when necessary.

Fail Fast

Fail Fast is a method used during a recurrent approach to determine whether an idea has a value for the client or solution. An important goal is to minimize losses when testing reveals something is not working and quickly try something else.

MVP

The Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is a scope of a product with the smallest possible functionality which is able to provide meaningful feedback from users.

Clickable Prototype

Clickable Prototypes are interactive demos of a website or a software application. These are often used to gather feedback early in the project lifecycle, before the project goes into the final stage of development.

Agile Events

Agile Events are necessary meetings for keeping up the good work. They are usually time-boxed and the most common Agile framework that uses these periodic rituals is Scrum.

Design Sprint

A Design Sprint is a framework that reduces the risks associated with product development. It is an intense process done by a small team in just 3 - 5 days.

Waterfall

The Waterfall methodology is a linear project management approach where customer's requirements are collected at the beginning of the project. Then a sequential project plan is created to satisfy those requirements. The concept is appropriate for small and clear projects.

Code Review

Code Review is an important practice for checking each other's code. The reviewers are other developers from the team. The goal is to uncover potential mistakes that could slip through testing.

Bus Factor

A Bus Factor measures the minimum number of team members who have to be hit by a bus to put the project in jeopardy. The goal is to increase your Bus Factor as much as possible.

Lean Canvas

A Lean Canvas is a 1-page chart with 9 basic building blocks. It helps to identify problems and solutions for your product.
