Pragmatic software engineering consulting
Our view on pragmatic software engineering consulting is to carefully consider all three dimensions when deciding how to improve a project or an organization. Then, address these dimensions in a sequence of steps;
- listen: first, learn about the problems, domain and forces in the customer context. A key issue is to grasp the needs, as well as the capabilities of people or an organisation.
- understand: analyze the origin of the problems: are they related to process or methods, way of working, adopted tools and techniques, or the design decisions that have (not) been made?
- solve: propose solutions that offer a careful balance of the factors technology, people, and value. In particular, ensure that the solution is a good match with the objectives, resources, skills and capabilities that are available. Solutions are able to scale up as the technology proceeds, people learn, and economical concerns grow.
- consolidate: make sure that the proposed solutions are consolidated; for example as architectural and design documentation, as documented process guidelines, by a tool adoption process, or by a teaching and mentoring trajectory. If possible in a way that is sustainable.
Pragmatic software engineering is about continuously considering the three dimensions, not focusing on only technological, process or economical improvements and ignoring the others.
