Our teams have the autonomy to manage their own work using frameworks such as Scrum or Kanban each honing their ways of working through regular retrospectives and knowledge sharing. We all share a commitment to creating highquality code and engineers choose to follow practices such as pair programming mobbing and testdriven development.

This gives us more visibility of upcoming work while remaining responsive and allows us to collaborate effectively with other teams within our 15000person organisation.
