How we work

Google Apps

We use the business version of the following Google services:

You can install and use these services locally on your machine (after being provided with a @brandnewbox.com account).

Slack

We use Slack to chat and keep in touch with others. It is essential to communicate and understand who is doing what at all times. The main account is https://brandnewbox.slack.com/ and if you have a @brandnewbox.com email address, you can sign up by yourself.

Discord

We use Discord for video meetings, including:

  • Daily status meetings
  • Pair programming sessions
  • Team meetings and check-ins

Discord provides high-quality video and screen sharing capabilities that work well for remote collaboration. Team members should ensure they have Discord installed and configured for video calls.

EverHour

To track our work hours, we use EverHour.

In order to get an idea of how to track time on Harvest, look at Measuring time.
