Welcome to the Rialto Playbook!
Here you can find more information on planning, development flow etc. within the Rialto team.
We recognize that we can always be better. Therefore, we have strong opinions, loosely held, and take initiative to improve ourselves, the company, and our community. This is a never-ending task, because there is always room for improvement. This week should be better than last, and we should be optimistic that next week will be better than this week. We learn new things, and share those things with our peers and community.
While we are cognizant of people's feelings, and seek to work with each other constructively, we cannot let those concerns get in the way of our happiness and the success of our work. We'd rather be too honest than too polite.
The shared successes, failures and learnings of our team get lost if things – with the nessary respect - go unchallenged, or get buried. Our shared knowledge shouldn’t be lost in your inbox or forgotten at the end of a meeting. We prefer to communicate learnings/thoughts over Slack, in public boards/channels where possible (including anything valuable from face-to-faces).
Always be solving problems of our clients, that’s how our company succeeds. Working with, learning from, helping and having fun with each other as well as with our clients and partners will define how successful our solutions will be. Any problem is a solution-in-waiting - the entire team are there to help you find it.
Always challenge yourself and your team to think of the simplest first steps to get to a larger goal. Take ownership of achieving those goals. Define hypotheses. Ship fast. Test everything. Measure what you have to. Discard what doesn’t work and improve on what does. Everything successful we’ve done started out small. Iteration is one of the biggest innovations we can deliver across all areas of the business.
Our company got founded in an era defined by globalization. But the level of information, talent and success will be subject to local circumstances. We’re building a company culture which unites a multi-local sourcing and product roll-out. Our company culture allows for personal diversity. Be yourself, hold firm to your personal beliefs.
