The overall theme chosen is \u201cMan, don&#8217;t get angry!\u201d, aiming for people in the field of technology. As we\u2019re closely working with the companies which are living the digital and cultural transformations, we have decided to share insight and practical tips about how we approach topics like agility, leadership, and skill development. Therefore here are some of the practices we have adopted during the growth from 20 to 200 in the last few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Leadership<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have adopted a mentoring system, therefore the only managers in the organization are project managers. The seniority of the mentors varies across the company and even though they have some management responsibilities, they are advisors first and foremost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their ultimate goal is to help the assigned mentee grow in their career. They are not only the owners of some specific products or domains, but most importantly they are role models and culture keepers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/devoteam.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/L1007192.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10590\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200e\u200e\u200e\u200e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Collaboration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only fast, open, and transparent communication and collaboration can bring real results. Therefore, we focus on the agile and product mindset (rather than the project mindset) with clear ownership and responsibilities. Promoting the communities so everyone can share the experience from which the company can leverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re also encouraging everyone to share honest feedback within the teams and across the company regularly so we can reflect and adjust the way we work and think.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<div class=\"align wp-block-acf-quote\">\n\n\t\n\t<figure class=\"text-center\"><blockquote class=\"blockquote\"><svg width=\"49\" height=\"38\" viewBox=\"0 0 49 38\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M42.875 0C44.4995 0 46.0574 0.652728 47.206 1.81459C48.3547 2.97645 49 4.55228 49 6.1954V15.4885C49 17.1316 48.3547 18.7075 47.206 19.8693C46.0574 21.0312 44.4995 21.6839 42.875 21.6839H33.6875C33.6875 24.1486 34.6555 26.5123 36.3785 28.2551C38.1014 29.9979 40.4383 30.977 42.875 30.977H45.9375C46.7497 30.977 47.5287 31.3034 48.103 31.8843C48.6773 32.4652 49 33.2532 49 34.0747C49 34.8963 48.6773 35.6842 48.103 36.2651C47.5287 36.8461 46.7497 37.1724 45.9375 37.1724H42.875C38.8139 37.1724 34.9191 35.5406 32.0474 32.6359C29.1758 29.7313 27.5625 25.7917 27.5625 21.6839V6.1954C27.5625 4.55228 28.2078 2.97645 29.3565 1.81459C30.5051 0.652728 32.063 0 33.6875 0H42.875ZM15.3125 0C16.937 0 18.4949 0.652728 19.6435 1.81459C20.7922 2.97645 21.4375 4.55228 21.4375 6.1954V15.4885C21.4375 17.1316 20.7922 18.7075 19.6435 19.8693C18.4949 21.0312 16.937 21.6839 15.3125 21.6839H6.125C6.125 24.1486 7.09296 26.5123 8.81596 28.2551C10.5389 29.9979 12.8758 30.977 15.3125 30.977H18.375C19.1872 30.977 19.9662 31.3034 20.5405 31.8843C21.1148 32.4652 21.4375 33.2532 21.4375 34.0747C21.4375 34.8963 21.1148 35.6842 20.5405 36.2651C19.9662 36.8461 19.1872 37.1724 18.375 37.1724H15.3125C11.2514 37.1724 7.35658 35.5406 4.48493 32.6359C1.61328 29.7313 0 25.7917 0 21.6839V6.1954C0 4.55228 0.645313 2.97645 1.79397 1.81459C2.94263 0.652728 4.50055 0 6.125 0H15.3125Z\" fill=\"#3C3C3A\"\/>\n<\/svg><p>Only fast, open, and transparent communication and collaboration can bring real results.<\/p><\/blockquote><figcaption class=\"blockquote-footer\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8d39b2df wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6fa7971b wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Learning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most challenging part when it comes to the new technologies is to stay up to date.
