We love our metrics. They give us a sense of direction, progress, and structure. But sometimes… we’re using the wrong map to track the right journey.    The Comfort of Familiar Metrics  We’ve all done it. We use velocity, lines of code, bug count, number of tests, deployment frequency—trying to measure the health of our...

Why successful software still needs teams, even in the age of automation  With AI reshaping software development at lightning speed, it’s tempting to imagine a future where a few brilliant engineers, supercharged by AI, can build and maintain entire products on their own. The appeal is obvious: fast, efficient, cost-effective.  But while AI can do...

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. Looking...

The majority of developers really love writing code and they love to find ways to bring to life a new functionality or a new product. They also love changing or fixing existing features.     The reward they get is actually the fact that they made that possible. Their reward is creating something someone will use...

  Most people in the software industry they got there because they thrive in finding solutions and for us coding is just another language we speak fluently.   And just like in any conversation, we find an organizational system to make sure we follow the topic at hand and we direct our skills toward achieving a...

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...
