Our structure

At Mouseless, we function as a cohesive team of engineers. Our structure is designed to promote collaboration and communication, aligning with our people-centric philosophy.

::::

Within our collective, one of our engineers serves as the single point of contact, managing all client communications and operations seamlessly. This ensures clear and efficient communication, allowing us to focus on delivering continuous software increments.

We use our Discord server for daily communication. For detailed governance information, please see github.com/mouseless/governance.

Development is split into small increments, each with an owner and a reviewer, targeted for completion within a week. At the end of each month, we analyze our worklogs and discuss how to organize for upcoming tasks. This helps us maintain a balance between different types of work and skills, ensuring continuous improvement and high-quality outcomes.

#passionate

::::card{image="images/our-collective/passionate.png"}

Passionate

As software engineers, we constantly debate over better and cleaner ways to write code, even after its delivery. It's not just about the end product; it's the inherently elegant and fascinating nature of the work itself that keeps us engaged.

::::

#efficient

Efficient

We prioritize quality over speed, understanding that rushing can result in costly errors. To achieve a balance between quality and productivity, we employ effective scope management and incremental delivery.

#unconventional

::::card{image="images/our-collective/unconventional.png"}

Unconventional

It is our path to evolution. It involves trying and experimenting, embracing new approaches even when they make us feel strange and uneasy. We are perfectly fine with stepping out of the comfort zone, inviting the unconventional.

::::

#excellent

::::card{image="images/our-collective/excellent.png"}

Excellent

We view perfection as doing the best we can each day, understanding that it's a dynamic goal, not an unchanging ideal. With this perspective, we pursue excellence in our work every day.
