Using Agile Project Management

"Having worked with app developer clients, we started learning about the Agile methodology -- working on projects in short sprints with frequent iterations -- and adopted the basic concept in our marketing agency. We frequently check in to see how well we're meeting our goals. And if we're falling short, we'll optimize for better results rather than sticking to a set-in-stone agenda."


Having a Craftsman Mindset

"I view software development as craft rather than manufacturing. This means we hire the best developers we can find slowly and have avoided introducing a large amount of overhead. With a development team of 20 people and a mix of skill levels, you need a lot of process to keep your code quality high. A team of three to five highly skilled craftspeople can manage that pretty easily on their own."


Using the "Collaboration Strategy"

"The birth of the sharing economy has led to what Richard Susskind refers to as the "collaboration strategy." Clients and firms now coordinate on cases like never before thanks to mobility and cloud sharing. It adds compliance risks, but these can be managed, and it’s well worth the effort. It streamlines the often convoluted legal process to a considerable degree."
