Does it sound serious? It’s that super silly messenger app used mostly by teens, isn’t it? Doesn’t the pic say it all? We like experimenting, so we tried to use Snapchat for a part of project related communication for a couple weeks now. What I can tell so far is…

I’m currently trying to evaluate an idea — let’s call it Single Threaded Development, where a single team would always work only on one ticket at most at any given moment. …
