Abstract/Description

I am Chris Lucian, the Director of Software Development at Hunter Industries and this is our story of a small successful team growing from 5 to 30 people in just 1 year. We first had to develop the buy in for Mob Programming across the organization. As we grew we needed to ensure the preservation and guided growth of our culture. In need of a new facility we designed a great working environment. Interviews had to embody the spirit of Mob Programming while still evaluating our candidates in a fair way. Our technical excellence practices needed to continue to be a focus. Our department incorporated a flat department structure in order to distribute management tasks throughout the team. During the entire time we faced challenge after challenge which helped develop our processes in a way that is adaptable and yet facilitated our growth.
