In Web Services, we work in 3-week sprints. We plan what we need to work on over this time. Then we investigate, code, write, review, and test in order to move our projects forward. This way of working comes from a philosophy called Agile, which you can learn more about in this post: How we Work.

Today I’d like to give you an update on our most recent sprints, number 25 and 26!
