Hi, I'm Tobias, founder of Ice Bear Labs. I'm a freelance developer with over ten years of professional experience. I have worked with large development teams containing project managers, product owners, designers, developers etc. In a lot of those projects, the business processes were defined quite detailed.

What was often missing, was how the developing process should be handled, where information should be saved and how the team should work, on a day to day basis. Working with different teams you could always find things that did not go great in those categories.

This product is my attempt to give you a tool to find those problems and fix them for your team.

As you can see it's free to download and use and will stay that way. Would love to hear everyone's feedback and what might be missing from it. It was created from my personal experience, as well as multiple feedback rounds with other senior developers and agile team members.

Looks great, however I'll say that working in a startup, I wouldn't check all of the boxes in multiple of the three categories. Feels like you have talked to more enterprisy developers?

Hey, thanks for checking it out :)

So, I go deeper into this in the actual template, but you're not supposed to check ALL of the boxes in ALL scenarios. This is not meant as a test, but rather a checklist, hence I changed the name from test to checklist after the first draft.

So for some things, your team, your company etc. will differ from me and my questions. Which is absolutely fine! This doesn't want to be a dogma and different things work for different people. I HAVE talked to more enterprisey devs, but have also worked myself in both environments. I hope both kinds of people can benefit from it in the end :)
