(DB, Platform, API, Automation, Code Health etc) Squads are trusted to ask for assistance when needed, and when to reach out to others when there are shared or over lapping responsibilities.

:* Trade Me has an active agile guild and squads are encouraged to use scrum, kanban, or any other mix of methodologies. Squads perform regular retrospectives to genuinely review their processes and to ditch those activities that are not useful and to continually look for new ways to improve their processes.
