Some people dream of success, we make it happen!
Leadership, Performance & Appraisals

 

Do you have Development Leaders that are new to their roles? Are they struggling to find their feet? Maybe you have differing specialities and as such are not best placed to provide coaching and mentoring?

 

Here at Progressive Development we are primarily focussed on software development. We know what it's like to be developers, tech leads, Dev Managers and Heads of Dev/Delivery. Let us help you with what we have learned on our way, whether it's to strengthen your leadership capabilities, assist with performance problems or to help define a better suited and more valuable approach to appraisals.

Interim Roles

 

Do you have an immediate need for an interim Head of Development or Development Manager? Do you need someone to hit the ground running, providing a safe pair of hands while you search for the ideal long term candidate?

We have extensive, successful experience in running single and multiple teams, from small teams of Developers to Departments of multi-disciplined, self-sufficient teams. No matter the size and shape of your function, we can help!

Successful Delivery

 

Are you mid-flight with a particularly difficult project, or maybe having trouble kick starting one?

 

There may be technical issues such as release problems, quality defects, lack of technical expertise. Or, maybe, there are people issues where individuals are new to roles, unclear on boundaries and responsibilities or simple require more guidance and coaching.

 

Through many years of successful, high priority deliveries we are able to help you through these problems. We are fully versed in Waterfall and agile methodologies which can be applied in a very pragmatic fashion to 'get the job done'!

Strategies

 

Have you reached a cross roads with your Development function and unsure where to go next?

 

Are you using internal or externa Developers to build your products? 

 

We have experience of all manners of systems (single user through to ERP, desktop, web, n-tier, etc.) and the teams, tools and methodologies needed to succeed.

 

Let's work together to define your objectives and construct a roadmap to meet your end goal.

Agile Coaching & Transformation

 

Have you rolled out an agile methodology recently or intend to do so soon? Are you looking for assistance to kick off this culture change, including all of the right people at the right time?

 

Maybe you simply need a steady hand to guide you back on course.

With extensive experience in waterfall, SCRUM and Kanban we are ideally placed to help you through the initial changes as well as maturing your agile approach from SCRUM to Kanban.

Health Checks

Do you feel as though you could be doing things

better but unsure where and how?

 

Due to extensive experience at Progressive Development we are able to look at your Development function, deep dive into agreed areas and provide sound recommendations on improvements and efficiencies that can be realised.

 

We are also able to provide similar guidance in QA/QC and Service Delivery due to experience gained throughout the years as well as strong professional connections in these areas.

DevOps

 

What does DevOps mean to you?

 

Do you have Development teams who are also responsible for your live estate? Maybe you're looking to introduce more Development practices into your Operations teams to increase agility? You may have made the decision to setup a completely independent team to deliver operational change in a fast controlled manner without impacting upon your SLAs or slowing down your QA and Development functions.

Whichever is the case we can help you implement the best approach for you!

Resourcing & recruitment

 

Are you struggling to understand the resourcing needs of your team or department?

 

Do you need someone to help you define a clear view of requirements and assist with how to interview new talent in an easy and repeatable way?

We have extensive experience in resourcing and recruiting for technical and leadership roles which will help you improve your approach in the short and long term.

Programme Management/PMO

 

Sometimes the hardest problem can be capturing and maintaining a simple view of your inflight programmes of work.

We can assist you by providing simple approaches that allow you to capture progress, timelines, resourcing and more in a lightweight manner better enabling you to react to change and opportunities, ensuring the success of your projects.

Wider I.T. Assistance

 

Are you experiencing problems with your different I.T. functions not collaborating effectively? Do each team use different tools and approaches causing frustration and bottlenecks?

We can help bring this teams together, collaboratively defining a unified approach and toolset for all.
