Situation
In August 2005, Michael Hayes, CEO of Hayes Software, faced a challenge. His development team suffered from poor communication and a lack of formal processes.
Problem
In addition to procedural hurdles, the team wrestled with production defects, insufficient testing and a lack of cohesion. The development cycle was working, but Michael was determined to make it outstanding.
Decision
After a co-worker recommended an article on Agile development Michael contacted TESTCo for assistance with testing plans and bug elimination. The offshore process evolved into a natural fit with Hayes' vision for a simple, efficient coding system.
Solution
Michael teamed up with TESTCo and learned the key principles of Agile development. The Hayes Software team focused on satisfying their customers by delivering measurable, working software.
Benefits
By leading his team from Waterfall to Agile, Michael realized a marked improvement in communication, software quality, and professional training. By Hayes' own admission, they can always learn more, "Improvements are needed, but we're light years ahead of where we were. We know our demons."
