The modern, modularized approach of Cloud-native software development is replacing old, monolithic ways of programming. This toolset and philosophy enables development teams to create efficient, reliable, and scalable software applications. This methodology allows teams to push features out faster, innovate efficiently, identify bottlenecks, and improve delivery processes - all while decreasing risk in an ever-changing environment. Here’s a look at the Cloud-native methodology and how it unlocks the full potential of your software development team.

An EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) model used in parallel with Scrum enables optimal function as teams in self-organized units share the vision and goals of the organization. Although seemingly unrelated, EOS and Scrum are both frameworks that emphasize focus, alignment, discipline, and cadence. Here’s a deeper look into what EOS is and how it can be used in parallel with Scrum to drive efficiency and accountability.

Moving your software development teams from working on operational to strategic goals is essential to your company's innovative future. However, the best developer’s time is too often occupied working on existing business solutions, which greatly hampers their ability to work on future business. Even if you had an unlimited budget to hire new resources, without an infusion of the tribal knowledge diffused among your existing teams, those new hires might have too much to learn about your environment to be immediately productive.

Building high performing software delivery teams starts with leadership. We reached out to successful tech executives and asked them to share their hard-earned wisdom around building high performing teams. We asked how they assess their teams’ health, evaluate performance, and, most importantly, what improvement plans they have, if necessary. Here’s what they said.

Taking on new projects, such as building an enterprise portal, doing a website redesign, or upgrading software or systems, can be risky business. They require a significant investment of time, money, and resources, and the returns can be elusive. It doesn’t have to be that way, though. Implementing a design thinking phase at the start of your project is a great way to ensure a successful outcome.
