Team Challenge
Posted by anuj on June 2, 2007
Product companies thrive on innovation. And ideas are democratic. They do not come only to a particular person or team. MangoSpring as a company encourages each and every individual to own the product. To innovate and to define new features for the products. The product team which is responsible for the product requirements acts more like a facilitator.
To encourage innovation across the team and to make the Felix feature set kick ass at MangoSpring we had a ” story telling” contest this May. Each team of 3-4 people were to come up with as many stories/use cases for Felix. With an ipod nano for every winning team member, needless to say there was a lot of passion,energy and enthusiasm in true MangoSpring style , not to mention the late nights ! The teams came up with some really cool narrations with mushy movies to gang wars to vouching for the farmers cause. It was hilarious at times extremely insightful. Post the submission of the storylines Springsters met over pizza to discuss all of them and debated which one’s would see the light of the day and which would go to “cold-storage “.
Goes on to show how at MangoSpring there is never a dull moment and how we take innovation seriously. Every one at MangoSpring is innovating everyday.
