Insights from people who build products

Ever tried moving a boulder uphill? Yeah, not fun. That’s what working with oversized user stories in custom software development feels like — slow, heavy, and full of frustration. Good (we mean, smart) developers know the trick: split those stories down into smaller, manageable pieces. Suddenly, you’re moving faster,...

Until very recently, the Software-as-a-Service model was something large corporations offered their clients. It meant years of development, thousands of people writing the code 24/7, and fabulous amounts of money. Well, things have dramatically changed. Today, even small startups can deliver their product ideas to thei...

What is no-code app development? Imagine a typical scenario. A young startup has a potentially world-changing idea and the ambition to conquer the business world but a limited budget.

Keeping everything under control in short-term tasks is relatively easy — everybody goes to a common and known goal. Long-term project management, on the other hand, requires experience and a lot of resources. Will your product still be relevant in half a year? How do you keep your team motivated and stakeholders focus...

It’s not about avoiding them (spoiler: it’s impossible) but about resolving them effectively while keeping the atmosphere of trust and comfortable, stress-free working conditions for each team member.
