The project/product is the core, the central axis, the motor, the dynamo. With this decision, our new model took off and, with it, came the great discovery of Notion as its driving force. From now on we invoice and organise ourselves in weekly sprints. Roadmap, backlog and retrospectives, all in different placesĪfter several projects, conversations with friends and lessons learnt, we decided to polish the model.Duplicated tasks in the client’s tools ( Jira, Target process or similar).Wikis without a place or importance in the life of a project/product.Too many features or options for managing simple tasks.Frequently asked questions were answered via random channels.There wasn’t a joint vision of the project/product.Trello, on the other hand, ended up leaving behind abandoned boards that died from starvation and lack of movement. Slack remained indifferent, as did email management. People talk about agile, Kanban, Scrum, Trello, but… What do the small teams do? How do they work in an efficient way? What are their issues? What truth is there in all this agile stuff? How does it apply to reality?Īfter trying tools like Asana or Trello, we realised that we felt forced into the process and the way in which projects were developed.
We’re always talking about tools, ways to organise the day-to-day, optimisation, etc. Basically, we advocate for good work and an impeccable end result. Without a doubt, our biggest mantra is to provide quality over quantity, and we have a clear strategy for creating a scalable model that is sustainable over time. We haven’t grown excessively, but it doesn’t worry us. In this 9-month journey we’ve learned a lot, reflected and transformed processes inherited from graphic design, conventional agencies and product design that we’ve adapted to our own model and culture. Today we celebrate the launch of the first version of our website, a first encounter where we aim to talk about what we do and what we believe in. Notion and project management within a product design studio.
