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 Betting – Work isn’t thrown into a backlog. Before a project gets scheduled, we shape it—defining the problem, solution, risks, and constraints upfront. Only well-formed ideas make it to development.
Small Teams, Full Ownership – Developers and designers work in small, autonomous teams. No micromanaging. No back-and-forth over tiny details. The team decides how to execute within the defined problem space.
Integrated Workflows – Instead of breaking work into rigid "frontend" and "backend" tasks, we focus on delivering end-to-end solutions.
No Endless Meetings – We believe in asynchronous work. Updates are written, decisions are documented, and meetings are rare but meaningful.
