Roadmap(s)
One Roadmap that includes both:

Engineering projects
We will take time for both, even if sometimes it will not beeasy.
We need also to clarify our Company Portfolio Management.
Coming next:
Clarify the roadmap / portfolio process
Build a high-level Dashlane Roadmap view
Build our Engineering Strategy.

Culture
We will define together our Team Culture, an extension to Dashlane Culture and Values
What do we stand for as a team? What is our goal?

CultureValues Actions
“Culture is the stuff people do without
noticing it.”Henrik Kniberg (Agile Guru)
“Culture is the manifestation of the
shared values of the organization as
represented by the actions of its
members.”
Kevin Goldsmith (Spotify)
Continuous Learning
Developing a Culture of Learning
The pace of change in our market and on the web in general forces companies to adapt fast. To be adaptive as an organization, that organization must intentionally engage in Continuous Learning.
When you learn as a team, you become more adaptable and achieve much better results, especially when the pace of change is fast.
Teams that learn quickly are more adaptive than teams that don't.
Adaptive teams are teams that can get better results, by rapid response to change.

Last but not least
2 personal rules…I hope you share them
1. Spirit Enthusiastic Open-minded Collaborative Communicative
2. Meetings Be on time! Focus: no phones no computers(except if required)
