Software Development Maturity Assessment

Building High-Performing Engineering Organizations

SDLC Flow Optimization

Optimizing Your Development Lifecycle Flow

We analyze your entire Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), mapping the value stream to identify bottlenecks, improve flow efficiency, and shorten feedback loops.

  • End-to-End SDLC Process Review

    From requirements gathering to deployment and monitoring.
  • Value Stream Mapping & Bottleneck Analysis

    Visualizing and improving the flow of value delivery.
  • Release Cadence & Lead Time Optimization

    Assessing speed and predictability of releases.
  • Feedback Loop Effectiveness

    Ensuring rapid feedback between Dev, QA, Ops, and Business.
Engineering Practices Maturity

Elevating Engineering Practices Maturity

Our assessment dives deep into your core engineering practices, evaluating automation levels (CI/CD), testing strategies, code quality standards, infrastructure management, and security integration (DevSecOps) to foster technical excellence.

  • CI/CD Pipeline Maturity & Automation

    Streamlining build, test, and deployment processes.
  • Automated Testing Strategy & Coverage

    Evaluating unit, integration, and end-to-end testing effectiveness.
  • Code Quality, Standards & Maintainability

    Ensuring clean, robust, and easy-to-maintain codebases.
  • DevSecOps Practices & Security Integration

    Embedding security throughout the development lifecycle.
Team Topologies and Collaboration

Assessing Team Topologies & Ways of Working

We evaluate your team structures, communication pathways, and collaboration modes, drawing on concepts like *Team Topologies*, to reduce cognitive load, enhance flow between teams, and ensure effective agile/lean practices are truly embedded.

  • Team Structure & Interaction Mode Analysis

    Aligning team types (stream-aligned, platform, etc.) with goals. (*Team Topologies*)
  • Agile/Lean Methodology Adoption

    Assessing the effectiveness of Scrum, Kanban, or other frameworks.
  • Communication & Knowledge Sharing Patterns

    Facilitating effective information flow within and between teams.
  • Role Clarity & Psychological Safety

    Ensuring clear responsibilities and an environment for improvement.
Compliance and Standards

Ensuring Compliance and Best Practice Alignment

We check the alignment of your development processes, tooling, and outputs against internal policies, industry best practices (like maintainability, security), and relevant regulatory or compliance standards.

  • Adherence to Industry Standards & Frameworks

    Checking against relevant benchmarks (e.g., OWASP, ISO 27001).
  • Internal Coding Standards & Best Practice Review

    Ensuring consistency and quality across teams.
  • Documentation & Knowledge Management

    Assessing the quality and accessibility of technical documentation.
  • Audit Readiness & Compliance Reporting

    Streamlining processes for internal/external audits.
