Our Advice

Critical Insight

Development practices should focus on generating artifact value instead of processes.
Artifacts can devalue each other and this codependency needs to be managed through a regular assessment.
Inter and intra-project artifact dependencies should be accounted for in the assessment of an artifact’s value.
Value for an artifact is measured across two criteria: reusability and maintainability.

Impact and Result

Categorize artifacts within your software practice based on value and churn.
Quantify the cost of poor artifact management.
Understand the different Agile techniques for improving artifact value.
Create a development practice roadmap to go from where you are today into the future.
