Do you feel your software projects could be done better and faster? Well, you‘re probably right!

It is a known fact that most of the software development projects in the world are delivering late and with unsatisfactory quality. This is due to several reasons like ill-defined requirements, not enough interaction with the customer, internal politics in the organisations and so on...

Is it possible to do better? Yes, it is possible, and we are as convinced as you are about it!

In our long experience in the IT world we have reached the conviction that using the appropriate development technology and maturing the human side of the organisation can improve greatly the performance of any software development organisation. We know you‘re not surprised: you felt that before.

Now we can tell you how!

We have a long experience in using agile and lean technologies to develop better software faster. Agile is not easy: there are a lot of details to take care of and we tried them all, but the rewards we achieved prove the validity of the approach by showing improved customer satisfaction with timely delivery of a proper quality.

These staggering results can be achieved mixing properly technological innovations and teamwork.

We offer a comprehensive solution for agility to our customers. They might be absolute beginners in agile or need to optimise the current implementation: anyway we can help with our consulting services all the time.

Becoming Agile...

What is Scrum?

We can help your organisation in becoming agile, supporting the implementation of the various methodologies needed.

Do you believe Extreme Programming or Scrum might be useful for your organisation? We can explore the path together, starting from an analysis of your current project setup, suggesting what technologies or parts of it would be beneficial to you and support you in the implementation of the changes.

Scrum is a „light framework“ for project management. It is based on iterations incrementally expanding a product. Each iteration ends with a „potentially shippable product“.

...and Lean Lean thinking can be applied to software as well: all the knowledge developed by Toyota has recently been applied to software development with great success.

We can help you removing „waste“ from your processes with the goal of developing exactly what you need and when you need it.

Agile Coaching/Scrum Coaching Every agile team, even the best one, risks to remain stuck with sub-optimal processes. We can help by supporting the change: be it a technological or a people issue, we can take a coach role and support your team in finding new options for its development. Our approach to coaching is technical as well as based on the most recent systemic, neuro-linguistic programming and complexity concepts.

Project Coaching Even the most productive individuals sometimes need somebody to talk: leaving your best resources alone will eventually have an impact on your projects. We know how to help them: our long experience in project management, synergistically combined with our coaching skills, helps exploring alternatives also for the busiest manager.

What is Extreme Programming?

Extreme Programming is a collection of best practices taken „to extreme levels“.

It is targeted to software development and based on Practices, having their root in five core Values (Communication, Simplicity, Feedback, Courage, Respect)

What is Lean software development?

Lean is a method for applying the Toyota principle to software development 1. Eliminate Waste („Muda“) 2. Amplify Learning - Through feedback, iterations and synchronisation 3. Decide as late as possible - „The last Responsible Moment“ 4. Deliver as fast as possible - Pull system, reduce cycle time, create flow zeroing waiting time 5. Empower the team - Through self determination, motivation, leadership and expertise 6. Build integrity in - Conceptual and perceived integrity, refactoring and testing 7. See the whole - System thinking, information measurement (instead of performance measurement) and contracts
