In this episode of Do the Woo, Katie Keith from Barn2 and James Kemp from Woo look back at Radical Speed Month at WooCommerce, a focused push to ship work faster across the project. The conversation is a direct debrief between the two hosts on what the initiative was, what came out of it, and what it might mean going forward.
James walks through what teams actually shipped during the month, including some of the standout projects he and his colleagues worked on. He and Katie get into how the work was chosen and how it lined up with WooCommerce’s wider priorities, as well as the practical question of how that kind of speed was possible in the first place.
They also reflect on the harder parts: what surprised the team, what tradeoffs came with moving quickly, and whether this was a one-off effort or a sign of how development at Woo might work in the future.
This conversation is for anyone building on or following WooCommerce who wants a clear, grounded view of what Radical Speed Month delivered and what it signals about the project’s direction.
