At Seed Software we love the challenge of Enterprise Software Developement.

Some organisations spend an eternity in the requirements phase, while others jump right in with ill conceived solutions.  They commit significant funding to their portfolio of projects, yet find it difficult to determine why one project failed while another succeeds.

Seed Software believe there is a better way.

Agile Management

We apply a Lean Software Development approach that blends Agile and Lean principles.  In our projects, or our coaching work, we apply agile management practices that focuses on flow and delivery.

Conceive the Right Solution

We use Lean Product Development techniques that are used to expedite the conception and planning process.

We seek to be masters in the technologies we apply to customers problems.  However initially, we put technology to one side.  We take a domain-driven focus that is anchored to two reference points: the problem domain and the user’s goals.

Our passion is to help you conceive a solution that will bring growth to your organisation.

The Right Amount of Design

Utopian views of big “A” Agile development tend to dismiss the need for up-front design, preferring instead to defer much of the design to the development team.

In corporate environments, with many teams and stakeholders, communication between teams adds an extra layer of complexity to a project.  There may also be a need to integrate the “new thing” with an existing legacy, or the need to maintain a strategic coarse.

Organisations who apply Lean Product Development techniques have discovered that it is not deferring design and specification that speeds up the product development process, but rather an increase in cross-functional collaboration and the development of options (ideas) that shortens the development cycle and increases the possibility of success.

Our experienced leaders  provide the guidance to successfully navigate your team through the solution conception and product design phase.

Software Engineering Practices

Solutions must be cost effective over the long term.  Perceived integrity is not enough.  Software systems must have an internal integrity to be flexible in the face of changing business needs.

We apply the techniques we consider to be the minimum standard for any engineering team:

• Continuous Integration
• Test-Driven Development
• Feature-driven work with Acceptance Test-Driven Development
• Short development cycles
• Design patterns, Refactoring, and “Clean Code” programming.

Growing and Learning

Individual learning and growth form the key ingredient to the foundation of great teams, particularly in the software engineering field.

Nobody has complete technical knowledge.  Software professionals are required to learn new technologies, standards, techniques, and tools on every new challenge.

Our people have developed their ability to learn quickly, mix-in experience, and produce state-of-the-art technical outcomes.
