Lisk Response
6yThe current strategy for the Lisk blockchain application platform is always available on our website, see: https://lisk.io/roadmap. Every objective on our roadmap is extensively researched by our team of researchers with proposed solutions published to our research forum (https://research.lisk.io) and on GitHub (https://github.com/LiskHQ/lips).
Our office times are normal, from 9 am to 5 pm. We ask all employees to attend the morning stand-up at 09:30 am. No employee is routinely expected to work beyond their contracted hours. We actively encourage our employees to make the best use of their time, so that they can spend more time outside of work, living their life to the fullest. All work and no play, is not our mantra, but when we work, we do take it seriously.
At Lisk we think differently. With the majority of the team being developers, we practise scrum, whereby all work is completed within the confines of fortnightly sprints, each with clearly stated goals and requirements, commonly agreed upon by the team itself. The team then defines by themselves when exactly work can be deemed as “done”, and regularly looks back retrospectively on what can be improved upon in future sprints. It is on this basis, that we ensure high productivity and measure team performance.
Our team is highly competent. Our researchers all have PhDs. Our developers all have degrees or masters with at minimum, 5 years professional experience within enterprise or blockchain development.
Recruitment is now largely handled by the heads of department and team members, not HR.
We publish a monthly financial report on our blog: https://lisk.io/blog/tags/financial-update, where the numbers can speak for themselves.
