Our approach is a hybrid model of

Waterfall, Scrum, and Kanban.
Don’t be worried if none of those terms
make sense. We’ll explain.

Our approach is based on “chunking.”

Taking something really big and breaking
down to smaller and smaller pieces.

We assign tasks to the team at the beginning of each
week– a “Weekly Sprint.” Every consecutive week, we
revisit if the tasks have been completed, and assign new
ones to reach our next milestone/posting.
