In January when the winter weather was at its worst in London we packed our laptops, designs and prototypes and headed to Cape Town, South Africa for Client Platform Sprint. This design sprint was a mid cycle checkpoint and the target was to get some important 14.04 designs, including Dash and Right edge swipe, reviewed and finalized.

It was an intense week with lots of review sessions and a tight schedule. But after the day’s work was done we tried to make most of our time in this astonishing place. The trip wouldn’t have been complete without visiting those vineyards, white-sand beaches and of course THE Table Mountain.

All in all it was a great work week in the sun with some bits of free time activities. Easily beats a regular week at the office. Some pictures from the trip:
