Effective infrastructure for efficient development workflows
Building software products of any kind is hard enough. Doing so without the support of powerful infrastructure that enables efficient workflows is even harder. Yet, many teams are suffering from the absence of such infrastructure, forcing them into very much inefficient workflows with substantial time and effort going into synchronizing the work of different engineers, tracking down bugs, and getting back to tasks later that were already thought to be complete.
How to create an interface inventory
Are you struggling with a messy interface? Is your digital product full of inconsistencies? Are your designers and developers having a hard time aligning on how to evolve your UI?
The guide to making remote work work

While in the late 90s and early 2000s, relatively few people were actually doing it and there were quite some limitations to overcome to make it work at all, today in 2020, remote work is well possible in many industries and even the norm for many companies already.

In this guide, we will share some techniques to make a remote working model actually work well for everyone and not just something we all have to cope with because an international crisis struck.
The True Cost Of A Quickfix
Picture this, a sprint is underway, development is running smoothly, then QA reports a rather odd bug, you begin to investigate and lo and behold you find the following comment:
Failing (and winning) at planning software projects
Scoping and planning software projects of any kind is a challenging task that many teams struggle with. The negative consequences of mis-planning are manyfold – teams are unable to give reliable estimates, synchronize dependent activities (e.g. marketing) with the project's progress or maintain a high level of quality that will allow maintaining and evolving an application over the long term. In this post, I will analyse these typical problems in some detail and present techniques to address and overcome them, reducing uncertainty, risk and frustration.
