Software Delivery
Software delivery is the backbone of every digital initiative, encompassing the processes and practices involved in bringing software from conception to deployment. Its importance lies in its ability to ensure timely, reliable, and high-quality delivery of software products and services.
How do we move safely at speed?
Aligned with Solution Architecture
Our software delivery process closely aligns with solution architecture principles to meet both functional and non-functional requirements and reduce technical debt.
Test Automation
Test automation is integral, ensuring rapid feedback and software reliability. Through automated tests at various levels, we detect and address defects efficiently, delivering high-quality software with confidence.
Observability
Observability provides insights into system behavior and performance. Through monitoring, logging, and tracing, we gain visibility into applications, enabling proactive issue detection, troubleshooting, and performance optimization.
Continuous Delivery
Embedded in our culture, continuous delivery enables rapid, efficient, and reliable software updates. Automated pipelines streamline the delivery process, allowing us to release new features with minimal manual intervention.
Infrastructure as Code
By defining infrastructure configurations in code and automating provisioning, we ensure consistency, repeatability, and scalability across environments, supporting reliable and resilient infrastructure.
Product Roadmap
The roadmap guides our development efforts, outlining strategic vision, key milestones, and prioritized features. By following this roadmap, we focus on delivering the most valuable features first.
How do we measure success?
Time-to-Market
The time taken to deliver software solutions from inception to deployment is a critical metric that reflects the efficiency and effectiveness of software delivery processes, directly impacting market competitiveness and revenue generation, while ensuring security controls are not bypassed for speed.
Customer Satisfaction
Feedback from end-users regarding the usability, functionality, and overall satisfaction with software products serves as a crucial metric for assessing the success of software delivery efforts, guiding iterative improvements and fostering long-term customer relationships, with security concerns addressed proactively.
Defect Rate
Tracking the number and severity of defects found in software products provides insights into the quality and reliability of software delivery efforts, guiding efforts to enhance quality assurance and minimize post-deployment issues, including security vulnerabilities.
Technical Debt
Tracking the accrual of technical debt provides confidence in the long-term sustainability of the software delivery process and encourages transparency between all stakeholders to ensure expectations are managed.
Deployment Frequency
The frequency of software deployments indicates the agility and responsiveness of software delivery processes, enabling organizations to adapt swiftly to changing requirements and market conditions, thus maximizing competitive advantage and business agility, while maintaining security posture.
