Native Agile Psychology of Teams and Individuals
summary
Argues that agility comes from people not prescriptions, showing concrete practices at JetBrains: flat teams of ~800 with subsystem owners and shared product roles, cadence of three major releases and frequent release planning, YouTrack using two-week sprints with sprint demos and retros that let anyone add a mini-feature, company-wide EAP (early access) program and public Slack for feedback. Policies include 20% side projects and decade-long hackathons (Dobby internal hiring app wins third prize), citing research that happy staff are 12% more effective.
