Team Creativity in a Hybrid Software Development World: Eight Approaches

For example, we have observed hybrid maintenance design meetings where a small core team drives the week-by-week discussion with a broader set of participants on emergent production issues, new requests by clients, proposed designs for enhancements to the product, the development pipeline, and best practices -all in a single meeting [12].
