This phase was followed by BuildIT where Mambuvians implemented 13 of the ideas powered by takeout food, coffee, chocolate, and a healthy dose of humour. Finally, it was time to demo the solutions and boast shamelessly about the level of genius in the team (a.k.a. RunIT phase). We can’t tell what the ideas and their solutions are just yet, but we can share that they range from simple to jaw-dropping.

1. Experimenting rapidly with different technologies and ways of working


In the business-as-usual mindset, the fear of taking a wrong step can be crippling. So, we challenged the conventional wisdom about how we do our work and dared to ask “what could we achieve if we start from scratch”? Or “what would surprise us?” And we were surprised with the outcomes. To achieve successful outcomes, we leaned on our colleagues’ superpowers. For example, we learned that our team mates are microservices wizards or catalysts for a major change in how we release features to clients. Superpowers don't have to be about flight or strength. Instead, they involve critical thinking, proactivity, autonomy, and working within constraints.

2. Completing implementations that don’t get prioritised in regular development


Those annoying, buried-in-the-backlog problems that kept engineers talking to themselves like crazy people is a distant memory. Everyone embraced the devops mindset by working on removing handovers and putting observability and proactive monitoring front and centre. Armed with more efficient tools and automated steps, solving clients’ problems while also creating new business opportunities becomes a walk in the park.

According to Ben Goldin, Mambu's CTO: "It was amazing to see how much we could achieve in two and a half days by focused and undistracted working on something meaningful, bringing immediate impact to the organisation and the product."

3. Finding solutions that we believe can last


What we quickly realised was that while we may find multiple ways in attacking an issue and finding solutions, the alignment in a growing company has proven paramount in achieving complete implementations. Finally, we stand by our belief that the demo itself was no finish line, just continuous improvement.  Until next time!
