At folk, the three most important things are:
- focus: in order to be able to produce high-quality solutions, which usually comes with being in the zone (or this)
- priority: so everyone knows the what and why of what we’re working on right now, and what comes next
- rhythm: we want to make sure we work at a good pace, without spending too much time on small details or compromising on quality. We want to find the right balance.
What does it look like in our product & engineering team?
We have decided to implement a project methodology we humbly named La Cadence™️. describing how we spend our energy and why.
Here's a blog post written by Jean-Yves, our CTO, about it:

Tech team - What's the day-to-day?Do you have any team rituals?
We sure do! Here are some of our favorite ones:
🚀 folk-on every Monday to start the week all together and discuss our primary focus.
🔥 demo time every Friday during which teammates showcase achievements of the week.
🎯 we're working on a 3-month cycle of development & goals for everyone on the team. We organize end-of-cycle rituals where we gather the entire team to run a retrospective, set our future goals, discuss our roadmap, and as always enjoy some quality time together.
😋 every couple of months, we have team gatherings in the City of Light, filled with great food and activities.
🌄 every 4 months, we go all out with our legendary 'folk-off' team offsites. Three days of delicious meals, and loads of fun in a beautiful location.
☕ Coffee time every day via Slack Huddle
