How does Etsy manage development and operations

I was browsing Quora [1] over the weekend and came across this post (below). Although it’s not directly related to Agile or Scrum, it’s a fascinating glimpse into how Etsy [2] manage their development and operations: http://www.quora.com/How-does-Etsy-manage-development-and-operations

[1] Quora.com is a social question and answer website. It’s similar to other existing Q&A websites like StackExchange. What draws me to Quora is it’s community of technology innovators and startup founders. In my experience it’s quite unique and worth exploring. Checkout my profile.

[2] Etsy.com is a website for buying and selling hand-made items. With Etsy, crafters and makers can create their own online shop and sell their creations. It’s got an off-beat, quirky feel. I haven’t used Etsy to buy or sell anything but I frequently see mention of different shops that are hosted on Etsy.
