Our Design Principles...

...were created as a group during Sprint 4 and have proved very useful in guiding the development team towards innovative solutions.

• Rely on external data, functions and services as much as possible
• Perfection is not the goal of the first iteration
• Foster credibility with the community
• Develop incrementally - don't assume end state functionality
• Web App is platform agnostic including mobile
• Go where the community is - don't expect them to come to us
• Open by default, share-able, reusable and transparent
• Be bold and take the calculated risk
• Failing early is far better than failing late
• Be agile: change happens, experiments die and that's good!
