Agile Software Development is one of the biggest trends in DevOps, and for good reason. Agencies purchasing solutions like ServiceNow or Splunk aren’t just buying IT helpdesks; they’re buying development platforms that can help tie together difference pieces of the organization. These platforms allow for cloud-based development that can modernize in-house applications and systems and tie them into a larger organizational infrastructure that’s designed to work together. Agile processes are meant to be iterative and collaborative. They rely on small, iterative changes from a range of stakeholders that can enable an organization to build things that serve the needs of multiple departments. Karthik Consulting has nearly eight years of experience helping Government customers like the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the USDA learn the principles of agile software, modernize legacy applications, integrate with newer cloud-based systems, and transition teams from waterfall to agile methodologies.
