delivering high-leverage solutions
technology
We specialize in high-leverage technologies - those that help people go from thought to execution quickly. We have deep experience in these technologies:
- RESTful Web and Service oriented system ranging from HTTP, XMPP, and asynchronous messaging systems.
- Lightweight frameworks: Spring Framework, Microsoft ASP.NET MVC, Django, Rails.
- Languages: Java, Scala, Python, Ruby
team
A team can organize to produce greatness, far greater than just the sum of its parts. This greatness is achieved by the right core principles. We base our work and guidance on the principles of Agile and Lean development to help teams successfully pull in the same direction - to tremendeous success.
leadership
Individuals and teams can accomplish greatness; true organizational leadership and vision can compound these successes. Arranging teams to better coordinate and cooperate creates a highly competive organization that can leverage changing business opportunities - instead of just dealing with them. An organization that does this also provides actual positive challenge, respect and value to its people.
Lean Kanban Conference
The Lean Kanban Conference was May 6th through 8th and it was an eye opening experience. The true values, in terms of simplicity and cultural change, were something we had quite simply missed - but not anymore.
lessons learned
process must change your daily activities
A new process that doesn't change the daily (or hourly!) activities won't actually create any lasting effect.
simple, not easy
These aren't the same. Finding a simple solution to a problem can be a lot of hard work, but has tremendous short and long-term benefits.
use, then reuse
For many years far too much effort and money has been spent on the reuse boondoggle. Instead, systems should be used to create direct value. After something is successfully used, it may be a good target for reuse. Maybe.
