Agile Software Development

Rapid and innovative development; seamless integration.

For the past decade, IT Cadre has developed a reputation for helping organizations avoid the common pitfalls that cause software project failure. IT Cadre is big on success,  delivering quality software solutions at a fraction of the cost.

Research shows that only 1/3 of all software projects are delivered on time, on budget and with the required features and functions. With software project failure rates at over 60%, IT Cadre realized that the body of knowledge used to engineer and develop software was flawed. IT Cadre set out to re-frame the problem and eliminate common pitfalls.

IT Cadre provides the bridge between solution vision and solution achievement through constant focus on:

• Business Objectives - The stated, measurable targets that create a union between the mission and the strategies of an organization. These objectives factor in the organization’s technology, people and processes.
• System Architecture - A diagram that focuses on how all the different systems, data, processes and strategies in an enterprise fit together
• System Design - The high level design depicts the components, interfaces and networks that need to be further developed. The detailed design provides more technical information for developers to build the components of the solution. It includes class diagrams, object and data models, and interface and interaction designs.
• Sprints –An iterative approach to software development confined to a short period of time.  The product backlog provides the set of items that go into each sprint. A workable product is incrementally built during the sprint process.
• Release Management–The delivery of business value to the organization. Project code is ready and delivered into a production operating environment.
