Podcast: Platform teams, how structural changes improve outcomes in Agile organizations

Simone Sciarrati and Jeff Campbell from Meltwater joined the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast to discuss how the way we organize teams can impact the effectiveness of an organization.

In this episode, Jeff (long time contributor to the Scrum Master Toolbox podcast) and Simone (Engineering Team Lead at Meltwater) share the journey of a team, how it changed, and how that team structure change affected not only the team itself but also the organization around them.

Drone CI at Scale

Drone is a powerful open source continuous integration tool which we have been running as an internal service to Meltwater’s engineers. During the past two years we have seen the service adopted by the majority of development teams, to where we currently run over 1,200 pipelines per day on average.

In this post, our Foundation team shares some of the features that have made Drone such an important tool in the daily workflows of our engineers.

How to Run a Remote Unconference

For three days in June, 238 people from Meltwater Product and Engineering organized and participated in our first remote unconference.

In this blog post we take a look at how we facilitated this event, which tools we used, and why we have already started planning our next one!
