Enigma Dragons is a results-only work environment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
  • We care about what is delivered, and not how long something takes.<\/li>
  • We communicate in clear and simple requirements. Every ticket should be as simple as possible.<\/li>
  • We value rapid iteration. We merge to master as frequently as possible.<\/li>
  • We write clean code. Code should be built for a team to read and evolve.<\/li>
  • We grant autonomy. Every developer should be given freedom to work how, when, and on what they wish.<\/li>
  • We believe in ownership. You are responsible for your role. You call the shots. You get the credit.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Workflow Process<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    • All work must happen against Github tickets.<\/li>
    • All active tickets must have a Role label.<\/li>
    • To begin work on a ticket, ensure that the ticket is assigned to you and is moved to the “In Progress” column.<\/li>
    • Only work on 1, or at most 2, ticket(s) at a time.<\/li>
    • If you wish to work on a ticket outside your role consult the Architect or Project Manager first<\/li>
    • Every ticket that is finished must result in a Git commit with the new artifacts (code, document, art)<\/li>
    • A ticket is done when it has been merged to master<\/code><\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Rapid Iteration<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      \n
      • For projects that use an approval process, approvals should be prioritized over new work.<\/li>
      • For non-art tasks, no ticket should take more than 60-90 minutes.<\/li>
      • If you discover that more work is needed, create a new ticket and deliver what you have.<\/li>
      • As long as you made substantial progress in delivering the target feature, that’s all we need.<\/li>
      • If a ticket is taking a lot more work than you expected, reach out for help.<\/li>
      • Any team member may create a ticket for work they think is needed for the project.<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

                  Q: This Ticket doesn’t have a lot of requirements. How do I work on it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  A: This is your chance to design something that you think will make the game great. Give it your best shot. Build the feature the way YOU want it to look\u2026 the way YOU want it to feel. We trust you. Make it great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
