On September 1, 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) took action to block evictions. The CDC issued an order that bans evictions from September 4, 2020, through December 31, 2020, to stop the spread of COVID-19. Under the CDC order, any landlord with the legal right to evict a tenant will not be allowed.
Within 24 hours of the issuance of the order, our team launched COVID-19 Eviction Forms. Impossible, you might say. However, developing and launching a legal tech solution within 24 hours is possible when adopting the right approach with an adequate methodology.
For this project, our team used an agile methodology comprised of sprints. A sprint is a set time during which specific work has to be completed and made ready for review. With this approach, a product or solution can be built in a series of iterations that break down large and complicated projects into more manageable, bite-sized pieces.
In the words of Maz Rehkopf:
Working in sprints gives teams more flexibility and allows efficient changes to a product or solution. With sprints, you can make sure that the project team delivers results while moving the project along.
How does a sprint work?
How many times have you heard the saying, “it’s a marathon, not a sprint?” However, with software development, this term is not applicable every time. Delivering software fast is a real challenge. So, how does a sprint usually works? We give you some tips based on our recent experience.
1. Kickoff. Every sprint starts with a kickoff meeting. During this meeting, the different teams and the product manager…Read More
