− | <big>The Surge Team works in a series of short sprints and deep dives to improve the quality of products. Our work is iterative and collaborative, learning equally from failures and successes. Consulting with stakeholders is a critical part of how we do our work. Our projects are often non-linear, redefining problem statements and generating more research as we move forward and change course as needed. Our approach is most effective with engaged and collaborative partners as we use these regular touchpoints throughout the project to build off your expertise and respond to your needs.[[File:Approaching work.png|thumb|890x890px]] | + | <big>The Surge Team works in a series of short sprints and deep dives to improve the quality of products.
