Transition to Agile development

As a leading provider of Capacity Planning and Performance Management software we’re always looking at ways to enhance our software and meet the needs of you, our customers.
If you’ve been following our news you’ll probably be aware of our hook up with RADTAC in our move to agile development – exciting times.
I’d be lying if I said that our transition had been easy and completely smooth but considering the challenges involved whenever you make a change to new processes, it ‘s now looking good.
I was reading an article by Katie Serignese in SDTimes http://www.sdtimes.com/link/34886 and have to agree that Agile can indeed be a bumpy ride!  Credit to my team then, who have embraced the culture change so quickly.
Our focus has always been on delivering quality software that is useful to our customers and agile development means that we can deliver larger changes, more rapidly and with no compromise to quality.
I’ll update you on new developments to Athene, our Capacity Management software soon and in particular Athene Integrator, the next generation of our custom data import facility.
