The team has goals for a quarter and the backlog for 2-4 weeks. The developer will work on one product only. There is no context switching between products or teams.
We spend 20% of our time to improve existing features, codebase, and to deal with the technical debt.
As we mentioned above, each team should have the both: frontend and backend developers.

We use Agile at work: Kanban. Furthermore, we really appreciate Lean methodologies when we build big new features. We use Trello to manage tasks.
The team lead, the product manager, Director of Engineering, or CTO can assign tasks. The team lead protects the team’s focus from external impacts, so if the task is not urgent and important, it will be added to the backlog. Mostly, the team internally decide what to do or not.
We use Kanban’s metrics to measure our speed. The quality of code is reviewed by other developers. Also, we are going to add a statistic analysis to code changes.
