Meetings

• Meetings are encouraged but should not be overused. Communication is key to developing new ideas and moving things forward. However, meetings should always
  • Have agenda beforehand
  • Be timed reasonably. It should not exceed 30 minutes (unless it definitely benefits from a longer timeframe, e.g. brainstorming)
  • Be held with only people that are relevant → usually it should not exceed 5 people

Standup, All-hands & Retro

• Each team has its own standup structure, but generally, a written standup is required at the end of each day.
• Every second Tuesday, we are required to present our progress to the rest of the team via an all-hands call.
• At the end of every week, a team specific retro is conducted to summarize what each person has done this week. This is a great opportunity to reflect on the week’s goods and bads, and also to plan for the week after.

Remote vs In-Office

• The team is currently half remote and half in-person in Vancouver. We are transitioning to a fully in-person operation.
• Our Vancouver office serves as the hub for our collaborative team. Working together in person allows us to thrive in this fast-paced industry and nurtures a culture of creativity and innovation.
