I've been working with 30+ developers over the past two years. Here are some points I'd like to share:

  • We have daily meetings for 5-10 minutes to sync with the team. I like these a lot because you always keep in sync.
  • Remote friendly environment (I love this)
  • We used to use trello, but the management team decided to switch to Jira. I prefer trello as Jira is very slow to me
  • We now work in a scrum methodology but I'm not a big fan of estimating tasks. What I loved was our previous structure, where we had an half an hour meeting on mondays to plan the week, and we did no estimations. Everyone knew how much they could accomplish so they were pulling in tasks for the week in this half an hour meeting. Now we have a 2 hours planning every two weeks, which I find very tiring and not really effective.
  • This is very important: In my opinion, ALWAYS prioritise the people and not the system. Whatever framework/methodology you choose, don't forget that people are not for systems but systems are for people.

The rest should just work out :)

Great last point, if I may add.
