Outstanding software accelerated!
Develop your digital product faster without compromising quality.
Develop your digital product faster without compromising quality.
Many software organizations struggle to deliver quality code or do it fast— or both. With no time to tend to quality and too many technical flaws to increase speed, a perceived vicious spiral is in effect. What if we told you that achieving both quality and speed is not only possible; they are prerequisites for each other?
Taking outstanding software to the market requires an understanding of the customers, technical expertise, and bringing people together to achieve your goal. Software organizations often have at least one of these problems:
The software itself needs improvement to enable speed, adaptability, and longevity.
The team's ability to deliver quality software needs to accelerate to keep customers happy or acquire new ones.
A particularly difficult problem spanning technical, business, and process dimensions is standing in the way of delivering value.
When things need to happen faster, a common approach is to bring more people on board. More hands equals more stuff done, right? Sadly, that's rarely the case! If the right conditions are not in place, more people equals more complexity and probably worse problems. Trying to patch the problem by training people, enforcing new operating models, or going on a bug hunt will only have short-term effects.
The notion that quality is a waste of time and that speed creates low quality is a myth. Here's why:
When you go fast – by keeping batches small, flow high, and delivering early and often – you get frequent feedback so you know you're solving the right problem and avoiding unnecessary complexity.
When you ensure quality – by keeping things simple and well-tested (automatically, of course) – the risk of technical failure is lower, so you can go faster!
Delivering outstanding software is our core business. Whether we start from scratch, adapt your existing code, or join forces to create something new, it doesn't matter. If it is important for your business, it's worth doing right! We like to work in small, fast-moving teams focused on value!
In the beautiful world of software, you can improve your ability to deliver value while executing! By integrating our consultants into existing teams, we help them increase their delivery frequency and quality while contributing to the product ourselves.
There's always a bottleneck that hinders your software organization from delivering faster or better software. It's either a technical problem, a more organizational one, but probably a bit of both. We're happy to identify and solve that bottleneck for you!
Can your software organization accelerate to deliver outstanding software faster? We believe so, and here are a few ways to find out.
Give us two working days and access to your code and your people; in return, we will give you insight into cutting your lead time in half while maintaining or increasing code quality.
One of our consultants visits your software team and provides learning, inspiration, and hands-on experience in the art of accelerated software delivery. Continuous Development, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), Extreme Programming (XP), and automated testing (with TDD) are on the agenda, and all discussions start in your reality.
The book Accelerate makes a compelling case that four specific metrics strongly correlate with business success. We're happy to help you establish a baseline and start measuring Lead Time, Deployment Frequency, Change Failure Rate, and Mean Time to Recovery.
We would love to meet up and discuss accelerating your software organization to deliver outstanding software faster! Please contact Jimmy today!
