The Liip Manifesto

Agile

When we say ‹agile› we do value:

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
Constant improvement and critical thinking over stability and following instructions
Scrum as a framework to organize our teams and our company as a whole

When we think of the web we believe in:

The web as a main driver of today’s communication and culture
The web as a unifying technology for all platforms, from the desktop to mobile devices and a future web of things
The power of the web in delivering rich user experiences on all platforms
Web standards as a way of building a sustainable common base for further innovation
Our explicit responsibility to constantly push the boundaries of what can be done with web technology

When we talk of ‹development› we emphasize:

The imperative to develop Liip and Liipers alike, i.e., our continuous investment in both
the culture we share and the individual development and well-being of each Liiper
Our commitment to constantly develop our technological and organisational
capabilities, our relationships and reputation in a sustainable way
Open technologies that are transparent, community-driven and free
Our focus on strategic innovation projects that leverage our clients’
unique strengths with custom-made web applications
A human-centered approach to engineering; seeing developers as authors and individual
contributors – not as code-monkeys – and all users as human beings first
A global perspective, with the global state of the art as our benchmark
