I have managed Oxygen’s Software Development Team for five years.
Each year, our aspirations grow to encompass widening arcs of project, team, and company.
It all seems planned but it’s a pattern of intended and emergent strategies. Agility embraced from the bottom up with the support of our CTO, Steve Morgan.
Beautiful.
