Helping You Suceeed
Picture one to
four excellent developers working hard on your project,
delivering the most valuable features every week. Picture getting
automated tests of the feaures
to prove progress and safequard future development. Picture
having a simple way to control the
priorities
and measure progress, with a minimum of bureaucracy. Yes it
takes extra skill to divide up complicated projects into smaller
deliveries of business value, but it also creates value faster
for you and lowers your risk.
We’ve found that a
small highly-skilled team is more likely to hit that sweet spot. If you have a bigger
problem/opportunity, we may be able to break it up into smaller
problems/opportunities, for multiple teams to work on independently. (Cell division) But starting with
the right small group is usually the key first step.
SourceCell
is an association of agile developers. We see each other at conferences, read
each other's writings, and want to work together. We have other day
jobs. But we think creating great software
is
so important (and fun) that we spend much of our evenings and weekends
working
on side projects, honing our skills, and expanding our knowledge. SourceCell is a way for us to work
together on a broader diversity of projects. That diversity helps you,
helps us, and
helps our day jobs.
If
your project can handle significant amounts of remote work, your
project can
benefit from our developers’ hard-won knowledge and passion. Certainly an on-site “tiger
team” can be very productive.
But it costs you more, and we’re not really in position to offer
that level of service at this time. As your opportunities grow, we’re
hoping our ability to help you will also grow.
Tell
us about your software project and we’ll give you a proposal for a
low-risk first step.
