In Yeti’s decade-long existence we’ve continuously iterated on the ways we run our company. Our quest to optimize our business operations has led us to experiment with many ideas and methods - many successful, some not.
Are you faced with the daunting task of planning your company's upcoming retreat? Does the mere thought of it make you break out in a sweat? Take a deep breath and rest assured - we've got your back!
Starting a new business is truly an adventure. You’re embarking on a journey through uncharted territories that can be difficult to navigate without a bit of guidance from those who have gone before you.
It’s hard to believe that this month marks 10 years since my business partner Rudy and I began the adventure of running our product development agency, Yeti. Check out the 10 biggest lessons we've learned in those 10 years.
At Yeti we use Points Poker to help scope timelines for our projects. Instead of estimating tasks in hours we use points - this helps track the velocity of the team and determine how much work we can get done in a period of time.
It's important to ask your app development company the right questions.
Despite the ups and downs of the past year, we're very grateful to still be running a successful software development company. We’ve certainly had to make some pivots, but we did our very best to make the most of the year.
You only get one chance to make a first impression. Yep, that old saying applies to apps too - did you know that 1 in 4 app users will abandon a mobile app after just one use?! With odds like that it’s essential that you give your product’s onboarding experience some serious thought.
Innovators must be managed in a way that empowers, focuses, and challenges them.
Starting a new project can be an overwhelming process! From scheduling the right meetings to crafting the perfect roadmap, the decisions you make during these initial stages of the project play a huge role in its eventual success.
The average human has over 60,000 thoughts per day, most of which amounts to mental chatter- unnecessary, repetitive and habitual thoughts that can seriously disrupt your creative flow. One of the greatest benefits of a regular meditation practice is an increased level of focus.
Our team implemented an approach we like to call "Applied Agile" and said goodbye to directionless meetings, micromanaging, and going weeks without status updates.
Everyone talks about Agile, a more modern methodology created for software development... but why should you use Agile as part of your project management tool belt?
Throughout our years of experience in product development one of the hard lessons we've learned is that the development of a great product can be seriously derailed by difficult client behavior. Luckily, there are some great ways to easily manage difficult clients.
By embracing experimentation, founders can save money, boost sales and build stronger products.
Here are just a few ways innovators are using crowdsourcing to disrupt the status quo.
Whether you're building an app for your startup, a marketing website or an advanced enterprise digital workflow system, the guidelines for setting up a strong relationship between your executive team and your product development team are the same.
Traditional methods of project management that don't take unpredictability into account can make any tech project impossible to navigate.
Take a look at Yeti's custom Huddle board! It keeps our meetings running smoothly and to allows us to track and record each of our teams daily and weekly progress.
Like all great relationships, strong communication should be the foundation of the relationship between you and your product development team. A vision brief can help ensure everyone remains on the same page.
Have a great idea for an app but feeling overwhelmed by the process of hiring the right developer for it?We get it. There’s a lot at stake when you’re searching for the right partner to go on the adventure of co-creating your app with.
Many developers' personalities and skill sets are well-suited to these three "unconventional" career paths.
Everybody says they're agile, and a handful of companies even go through the motions; they might even have a scrum master on their team; but what does it all mean in reality? And how can you actually start seeing value from it?
A well-executed brief takes all the information for a project, whether it be a product development project or a marketing project, and puts it in one concise document.
It’s important to be real with your team, and that means you have to talk about money. But how you talk about the company’s financial health with your team is extremely important.
A quality creative product brief, like the one our healthcare client shared with us, contains the following 10 elements.
Your brand absolutely needs a creative brief before it sets sail on product development. But creative briefs are easy to botch — and even easier to forget about entirely, so watch out for these five creative brief mistakes.
To really understand the Agile mindset it’s necessary to take a close look at the Agile manifesto.
In Yeti’s decade-long existence we’ve continuously iterated on the ways we run our company. Our quest to optimize our business operations has led us to experiment with many ideas and methods - many successful, some not.
We know that the world is currently experiencing a difficult, stressful and sad time, so we wanted to share some of our remote team building activities. We hope that they provide you and your team with some much needed stress relief and bonding time!
Don't worry, we'll never share your email with anyone.
