Consulting Services
We are here to help
…there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns— the ones we don’t know we don’t know. …it is the later category that tends to be the difficult ones. — Donald Rumsfield
Many commentators and consulting professionals push their technology or architectural preferences, e.g., Micro-services, Functional Programming, Continuous Delivery, Agile development, Kanban, etc.
Here at The Software Factory, we care less about specific processes or solutions that may be currently popular. Instead, we care much more about why a team should make a given choice and how those choices can be evaluated to guarantee effectiveness and sustainability.
So, while we may occasionally discuss nerdy technical topics here, what makes us different from the hundreds of other software resources and consultants out there is that we apply a Theory of Management to the production of software-defined products and services.
We will help you assemble a development program that meets your goals in measurable ways. We define success criteria, show you what questions to ask of your team, of your process, and of your technology choices.
We work with you to identify the correct metrics that enable you to weigh the true cost of different investments.
Do you need to define an MVP, scale a product, or a build a team?
Small companies need the experience a seasoned CTO can offer. But often, hiring such a person represents the single biggest challenge to a founder with a good business idea.
Our fractional CTO services are designed to provide the founder with the benefit of deep experience without long-term commitments. We provide trusted technical oversight to new projects.
