Out of curiosity:

1. How did you define the scope of "what to build"? Did you have tickets, or some less formal specifications like wiki pages, or simply a verbal agreement? How did you ensure that everyone's on the same page?

2. How did you track the progress of "building a thing"? Did you have some kind of "statuses", or each work basically had only two states -- "not done" and "done"?

3. How did the engineers coordinate on their work? Or every "thing to build" was always done by one single engineer? If the latter, how was it later maintained - always by that same person or did others work on it as well?

Please note that I don't mean to demean your experience -- these are simply issues that pop up in software engineering, and decisions have to be made how to approach them. And not making a decision is also a decision.
