Handling Diverse Approaches in Development
In software development, one size rarely fits all. That's not to say that widely accepted industry standards aren't adequate - on the contrary, they are. Problems arise when a project deviates from a chosen approach or combines several of them at the same time. Part of our expertise is helping clients navigate these situations.
We Rely on Core Principles of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
Our approach to software development is based on the proven principles of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). We believe that successful software development is like building a strong structure; it requires a solid foundation. Our commitment to these time-tested principles ensures that your project is on its way to becoming a reliable and lasting solution.
Major projects often move very slowly: there are constantly blockers, that can take up to a few days to resolve, the workflow of delivering a feature from idea to production is burdened with unnecessary procedures and uncoordinated people, the onboarding of new people is poor, the adoption of new processes is slow.
Key project architects/developers leave, and soon the project becomes a mess because people with essential knowledge and understanding are no longer there, their roles are not functionally filled, and the project is paralysed by incompetence.
It can also create situations where, after some time, none of the people can tell you why the system works the way it does, and why certain architectural decisions were made, they just accept it as a given and often don't question it. At this point, no one has the big picture of the project. This behaviour is well described in the 5-monkey experiment.
Due to the nature of long-standing projects, they tend to accumulate a lot of technical debt for various reasons: feature editing or deletion, implementation changes, non-compliance with or lack of coding best practices, developer negligence. It can make writing new code considerably more difficult and disorienting.
Occasionally, even dedicated, well-intentioned specialists tasked with making key technical and business decisions may not have the breadth of expertise required to determine the optimal course of action. The accumulation of such decisions can contribute to the challenges mentioned above.
