Does Dev Methodology Matter? w/ Chris Downard

Every software development method has its own rules your team is supposed to adhere to, but how flexible are these rules and what’s best for your team?

Chris Downard, VP of Engineering at GigSmart, doesn’t let Agile or any other methodology define what’s right for his team. In this episode of Dev Interrupted, we discuss how dev processes are changing in a remote world, why Chris got rid of dev teams altogether, and how to create your very own dev methodology.

Listen to the full episode

Episode Highlights include:

  • How dev methodology has changed in the past year
  • Why Chris made the decision to get rid of his dev teams
  • Advice for other leaders following strict methodologies
  • Creating your own methodology for continuous improvement
