Engineering without losing flexibility
The CTO of an e-business tool provider had to make a software product out of a research prototype.
He knew the unstructured, exploratory process of the prototype would not be effective in engineering a product with the following characteristics:
- 24x7 reliability
- easy to install, configure and use
- predictable and planned delivery of functionality
- adaptable to changing demands of many customers
We helped the team to deliver the product and transition to an agile methodology, which provided the right mix of quality, predictability and flexibility.
The results?
- The team delivered a complete product in each release: features, documentation, installation, configuration, upgrade, training materials...
- The team had so few reported bugs they no longer needed their bug tracking database.
- The team delivered its planned functionality, month after month.
- The team responded quickly to changes in the specification. In one case a new version was delivered within a week of the customer's request.
- The team kept improving its way of working continuously, delivering better software faster each release.
