Appian Engineering is composed of many product development teams. These teams are categorized into “business units” like low-code, discovery and automation, and cloud.
Each business unit is managed by a head of product, head of engineering, and head of quality Engineering (QE). Business units work towards annual strategic objectives.
Each business unit is made up of one or more “groups”. Each group focuses on specific goals for each of Appian’s quarterly platform releases.
Each group is made up of one or more “squads”. Each squad consists of about ten team members who focus on the day-to-day activities that support their group’s release work.
