The structure
Started in 1999 in Ferrara, in 2012
we have had:
★ 14 people in house
★ most backend developers
★ 4 freelancer (not RedTurtle)
★ 3 teams
★ 77 projects
★ 347 customer requests
★ 1943 tickets solved
★ 20K+ hours worked

12. ISO 9001

13. no, I mean really
USEF UL ?!

14. trainings and conferences

15. Scrum doesn’t completely fit to us
Kanban doesn’t completely fit to us
LOL

17. Massimo Azzolini
What is left?
1. Teams
2. Iterations
3. Agile team to embrace the verb
4. Introduce 1-2 new tools/methods after every agile meeting
5. Multiple kanban boards (personal vs group vs project)
6. WIP limit and customers’ delays
7. Value your time
8. Write everything
9. Code review

18. Massimo Azzolini
Which tools?
➡ Email?!
➡ Share Documents
‣ Google Drive
‣ Dropbox
➡ Organize tasks
‣ Trello o Kanbanery
‣ Simple management
(or other plone based
solutions)
‣ Basecamp
