Our flavour of agile has been heavily influenced by XP and Kanban, and if something isn't working, we change it. Our work delivers value to both the business and our customers, our teams are cross-discipline: business analysts and the user experience teamwork with stakeholders to coordinate research and understand requirements, whilst our frontend developers and software engineers pair with quality analysts to develop the most robust solutions, and our platform engineers work across the organisation to ensure our infrastructure never lets us down. We generally follow a mix of agile and lean practices with an overall philosophy towards continuous delivery. We'll rely on each and everyone's expertise to adapt and improve these processes to serve the team, project and company as best fit their current contexts. More importantly, we like cake. We like fun. And we are NEVER more than thirty feet from some pens and Post-It notes. Visit sndigital.springernature.com to learn more about who we are and what we do.
