I know everyone looks for a perfect "process" - and hence all agiles, scrums, whatever, but I am a bit cynical (or naive? not sure which one haha) and don't think there is one, all are bs (and implemented in a toxic org stay toxic), and all that is needed is a great team. :) Basically a mix of people with different attitudes, different seniority levels, working great together, being curious, exploratory, but also responsible and keeping deadlines when pushed. I worked on some teams like this - like Marc Levoy's HDR+ team at Google, it was amazing. We had unlimited freedom to explore, but the team had very senior, responsible, and accountable people and when a deadline was approaching (sometimes self-imposed) were becoming very disciplined. But one thing I am sure - if your goal is something creative and delightful - never let the business side, VCs and other "money squeezers" decide your process, features, goals.
