Product and design work should be conducted in sprints.

These sprints are standardised across teams at Moniepoint, as follows:

• 2 week long sprints: any shorter is too short to get meaningful, high quality work done; any longer encourages loss of focus

• Sync with other teams: sprint start and end dates should be the same for all teams. This gives a foundation for collaboration

• Start on Wednesdays: this allows sprints to start on days when the most people are in the office, and focused

The sprint process will include:

• Retrospectives: reflect on past work and identify opportunities for improvement. See guidelines

• Demos: demos and sharebacks increase visibility, encourage consistency and fixing of issues, and ownership start to finish

• Performance evaluations: continual evaluation of performance, and your work vs. your own estimates and vs. peers
