Questions and Issues

  • We need to improve our software development organization and want to be sure we’re focusing on the highest leverage areas
  • We want to know what is working for other companies, and what pitfalls to avoid
  • We need a neutral party to listen and sort out the varied issues that are causing us problems

 

Typical Solution

Our assessment process is designed to allow us to a do a “deep dive” into your organization, laying a groundwork for obtaining buy-in to the assessment results, while minimizing any disruptive impact on your staff. In our organizational assessment, we:

  • Provide an easy-to use web survey to gather information from everyone in your organization about your current processes and practices
  • Review and analyze your work products to create a set of preliminary focus issues to guide the interview process (we review materials including estimates, project plans, designs, standards, source code, test cases)
  • Conduct in-depth, onsite interviews with select personnel
  • Provide incremental findings and preliminary copies of the assessment report for your consideration and input
  • Work together to craft actionable recommendations to achieve your business goals
  • Present findings and recommendations to your company executives

 

Results You Can Expect

  • Identification of your current organizational strengths
  • Insights into current challenges impeding your ability to achieve business goals
  • Prioritized, high-leverage recommendations for the new practices, techniques, approaches, and other changes that can help you achieve your goals
