The Lean Studio

Agile development in an agency environment is hard.

At Code ComputerLove we have moved away from the traditional agency model to a new, more effective way of working based on value and continual learning.

From changing how project managers work and think about value to re-educating clients about more regular releases and smaller batches, we will share the lessons we have learnt along the way, the challenges we’ve faced and where are still looking to improve.
