How we work
remote, distributed, together
Our main communication tool is Slack. Use Slack status to communicate your availability. The easiest way is on-/offline. We provide a few other status messages, e.g. when you’re in a meeting, in a work tunnel, on break, sick or on vacation. Make sure to set them accordingly.
Iterations & flow
Most teams plan and work in iterations of 2 weeks or in a constant flow. They release as often as possible. “Done” means our customers use it.
Sync
Every team has some form of a daily or weekly update meeting. All of thomann.io gathers once a quarter for the Assembly. This is our all-hands update format.
Reviews
Our product teams show their progress and achievements each iteration to product management. They invite the whole team when useful. More infos on our reviews can be found here.
Reflection
Each team is obligated to reflect regularly. Retrospectives and project recaps are our means of choice. If your team does not have a coach of its own, please get in touch with the agile unit for support.
One department of many
Whenever it is necessary to succeed in your project, do not hesitate to connect with other Thomann departments. Expert knowledge can be found were the experts are. Connecting to others also helps you to build your network within the company.
