Services Offered
Our mission is to advice and coach entrepreneurs, executives, and managers of software development teams on how to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of their software development process, resulting in reduced defects, shorter life cycles, and increased morale.
One of the big problems with the software development process is that it's highly contextual. There isn't a silver bullet or a single process you can follow in order to ensure satisfactory results. With each process a certain amount of customization and tuning will be necessary to match it to the organization.
We specialize in the following activities:
- Measuring current performance using proven metrics
- Identifying and eliminating artificial roadblocks
- Evaluating processes and tools for hidden costs
- Implementing validated processes for effective development
- Assessing personnel, providing skill and growth suggestions
