A discussion on Team Culture.
summary
HMH runs a Dublin engineering hub of 150 engineers building the flagship learning platform ed for 50 million users K–12. Leadership launches P2P cohorts (about 60 people so far), two-to-four hour team launch workshops, quarterly agile adherence checks and monthly open project reviews. Product owners sit with dev teams and engineers join early design workshops; outcomes are higher engagement, clearer prioritization of technical debt versus features, more cross-team ownership and measurable improvement in pulse surveys and field-tested teacher workflows.
