Strong team disciplines advocated by Agile methodologies ensure that project with such a composition will be successful. Larger teams are broken down into smaller “Feature teams” lead by a feature lead ensuring the team is self- sustaining. Daily stand up meetings are the teams meeting to report on daily progress, this brief meeting becomes the heart of the project. Strong build disciplines and source control management all display a maturity of “Software Change Management

Frameworks and Guidance

Frameworks are industrialised software artefacts that provide an accelerated development timeframe by utilising pre-packaged software components and methods. We support the use of frameworks as far as possible as this ensures a standard way of developing the software as well as a dramatic time reduction in effort. Writing code for every component is too labour intensive and time consuming. Guidance automation also provides us with recipes to realise functionality in our applications faster

DevOps

Improving the interactions and relationship between development and IT operations gives us more effective delivery and production systems that are more stable and maintainable. Creating a DevOps culture requires attention to team organization, work practices, reporting lines, and incentives - leading to joint responsibility for faster and safer delivery. Test Automation, Continuos Integration and Automated Deployments are the cornerstone of an optimally functional environment which allows for infrastucture automation when the optimal level of dev automation maturity is achieved. We recommend adopting DevOps because we cannot see any situation where attention in this area will not have a positive benefit.
