Product Development Flows

109 people are learning this skill right now!
A product development flow is the methodology a team or company uses with a clearly defined process (or processes) for creating high-quality software. A product development process usually defines the stage of development, how the stages relate to one another, and how to parallelize teams and flows (sometimes called lanes). Product development flows are also referred to as a product development life cycle or a software development life cycle (SDLC).

      HubSpot uses a "no-process process". They don't have strict roadmaps or sprints, but rather set goals and run discovery to find the right solution, which might take hours or months.
