How We Work

At Tribe Social, we don’t follow traditional Agile, Scrum, or Kanban methodologies. Instead, we embrace Shape Up from 37 Signals, a product development framework designed to avoid endless planning, micromanagement, and scope creep.

Fixed Time, Variable Scope – We work in monthly cycles with clear priorities. We decide how much time we want to spend on a problem and shape solutions to fit within that timeframe.
Shaping – Before a project gets scheduled, we shape it—defining the problem, solution, risks, and constraints upfront. Only well-formed, concrete ideas make it to development.
Team of 1 – No micromanaging. No back-and-forth over tiny details. You decide how to execute within the defined problem space.
Pair Project Management – You're not alone, but working together with one of our team for each step of the project
Working Meetings - We thrive with async comms for updates. We use virtual calls to untangle issues and write code together.
