The struggles, the pivots, the new technology, and increased awareness of mental health. What are the big things we should be considering? What are the small things we can try each day to deal with anxiety and burnout?

At DevFacto, we're committed to reviewing the ways in which we work and communicate and exploring how others have found success as well. Making these improvements is one of the ways we deliver better work for our clients, but it's also an important piece behind how we improve the lives of our employees.

Nolan Smits shares his experience and insight, having worked on projects run with a wide range of methodologies. Untangling the differences between Waterfall and Agile can be tricky and every team seems to run projects slightly differently.

As consultants at DevFacto, we gain a lot of insight working through whatever methodology our customer is running. We’ll always try and optimize the process if we see any ways to improve, but some groups are more flexible than others. One of our favorite outcomes is leaving a team running more efficiently than when we joined it.

A Hybrid Software Development Method Since there are strengths and weaknesses to both Waterfall and Agile development, why not combine them to make use of their strengths?

Sara Richards is back with another installment in her Innovative History series. This time she’s talking about the printing press and the impact it’s had on our world. Making knowledge accessible and available is often a theme when it comes to innovation, as it consistently leads to increasing the potential of a single human.

As consultants at DevFacto, we do our best work when we understand the needs of individual users of the systems we build. Success scales, especially when it is replicatable and repeatable. Language leads to shared understanding. The printing press set up a one to many knowledge explosion. Just imagine what might come next!

Innovative History: The Printing Press Gutenberg’s press afforded the democratization and dissemination of information, empowering people to think critically, and dream of a better life.

Chad Ross discusses the reasons you should assess your business process or the software you have in place to support those processes. It’s not always easy to know where to focus your efforts, and where your attention should be when you do. Businesses need a competitive advantage, which suggests unique process and tools. Custom software can support any process we can imagine, but that doesn’t come without risk.

At DevFacto, we’ve seen many approaches to this problem over the years. The truth we can share that knowledge is power definitely applies, and what works for the company across the street won’t necessarily bring the same result in your company. We’re always happy to dig into the details with you and decide on a path that plays to your strengths and current assets.
