Almost all businesses depend on technology to achieve their goals. When technology is delivered reliably and aligned with the strategy of the business, organizations can be responsive to the market and achieve focused strategy execution.
However, many businesses are not consistently getting the results they need from their technology investments. Agile and Lean methods have been helping teams deliver software faster while improving quality. But shifting from current methods to Agile and Lean methods typically proves to be challenging.
Not every Agile Process is right for every company (or team) and starting simple is usually better than introducing too much change at once. Simplicity is, after all, one of the Agile Principles. We can help direct your organization in choosing the best Agile Process for you.
Being an Agile Enterprise ourselves, we mentor teams in the Agile Principles and frameworks such as Scrum, XP, and Kanban, as well as train and mentor developers in Test Driven Development, Refactoring, and Object Oriented Design and Principles.
Test-driven development (TDD) is an advanced technique of using automated unit tests to drive the design of software and force decoupling of dependencies. The result of using this practice is a comprehensive suite of unit tests that can be run at any time to provide feedback that the software is still working. This technique is heavily emphasized by when using Agile development methodologies.
We advocate the use of test-driven development as part of your development process. Our consultants have extensive practical experience of test-driven development and can incorporate it in the process we design for you.
Whether you have already implemented an Agile Process and just want to move from good to great, or are struggling with a process, we would love to work with you to help find ways for more improvement. If you aren't continually trying to improve, then you aren't being Agile!
