Organization of this book
01
Digital Product Projects
Iterating in small increments and validating assumptions at every step of the process allows addressing business needs with digital products effectively.
02
Development Process
Organizing and preparing work based on the input of all project shareholders maximizes a team's effectiveness and output quality.
We started working with RedPenguin to build a state-of-the-art mobile web app from the ground up and it was an absolute success! Not only are they web specialists, but their expertise in development practices and agile processes made our collaboration an absolute delight.

From the book
Decomposition
Large tasks become better planable and less risky when decomposed into smaller units. This applies to full products that should be broken down into an MVP and subsequent increments but also for finer grained development or design tasks.
Transparent Communication
Transparent communication and decision making processes are key for successful projects. Channeling communication through tools makes it transparent to all stakeholders and keeps a persistent record of discussions and decisions which is critical in particular for remote teams.
Self–Organisation
We believe the classic project manager role is an organisational anti-pattern and advocate for self-organised project teams. Close and direct collaboration between all stakeholders fosters alignment towards a common goal and is essential to a project's success.
