Our recipe for team success? Two-week sprints + great lunches + accountability = an all-in, well-fed team.
Since Rival IQ was but a glimmer in our founders’ eyes, we’ve relied on sprint planning to help us set and achieve our company-wide goals. (Spoilers: we’re now on our 168th sprint!)

Who misses summer reading challenges?
My local library would hand out bingo cards filled with categories like “short story” and “coming of age novel,” and I would spend summer holed up reading as many books as I could. The Rival IQ team has many passionate readers, so we thought we’d put together our own summer reading list. Continue reading
