How Scenario-Based Development makes this powerful process step truly yours—and helps your team ship smarter, faster, and with less frustration  Let’s start on a positive note: most organizations we’ve consulted for over the past decade are genuinely trying to do the right thing. They care about quality. They want alignment. They want to reduce rework,...

In software development, we often find ourselves caught between two extremes—caution and hype. And right now, that tension is pulsing around AI. You’ve heard it. You’ve felt it. The pressure is everywhere.  Adopt AI. Talk about AI. Integrate AI. Market it. Shape your roadmap around it. If you’re not using AI, are you even building...

How scenario-based development reframes TD as a source of insight, direction, and team pride  Technical debt has long been treated like a dirty word in software development—something to minimize, hide, or eventually “pay off.” But what if that backlog of design shortcuts, aging code, and imperfect processes isn’t a liability… but an asset?  For executives...

Writing about our experiences in the field and reflecting on the lessons we’ve learned is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work. Crafting case studies, in particular, stands out as an enjoyable journey. It begins with recounting challenges faced by teams or clients and delves into identifying root causes of the issues.

Software development used to be all about the code—write it, ship it, repeat. But as the industry evolved, we started integrating other disciplines like deployment, testing, and program management, and our products grew stronger because of it. Now, a new shift is happening. The focus is expanding beyond just technical skills, recognizing that the success...

Our data is getting more and more attention and more and more countries are changing their legislation when it comes to data protection. Data residency is one of the newest topics, and it refers to the physical  storage and processing of data from individuals in certain countries. The scope is broad and covers not only...

Micromanagement is bad, “macorempowerment” is the best. Oh, god God! Well, while I agree micromanagement is not suited in every scenario and with every individual, there are times when we need to micromanage. I can think of a few examples – a developer is barely starting his career and he is unsure of how often...
