Meet the be2 Team: Mojitos Amigos

mojitos1Mojitos Amigos? What kind of a name is that? Well, today, we are not introducing a member of the be2 team, but a team within the be2 team. An Agile team, to be exact. Agile is a software development process that allows developers to work more flexibly and in teams. Mojitos Amigos are one such team and you can tell that they just LOVE the Agile development process and the team spirit. They are so enthusiastic about it that they even filled in our “Meet the be2 Team” questionnaire as a team! For more information you can visit the Mojitos Amigos Blog.

How does Agile work?
Agile is about the people, not the processes.

How was the team formed?
During a special event, the names of be2 developers were randomly pronounced and they had either to create a new team (until there are 5), or to join one of the created teams. Thus a new team was started by Anahit, and one after the other Nerses, Ishkhan, Gevorg, Ani, Narek, and Armine joined, creating “Mojitos-Amigos”.

Why did you choose that name?
Did any of the amigos have too many Mojitos the day before?

Why you are working like this in a team?
We have a special blend of characters, which make the team unique!

How do you contribute to be2 members finding the love of their lives?
We have wide knowledge in be2 system, covering all the users’ lifecycle on the website… (Starting from the Guest Home Page, followed by Registration, Payment and…)
