Situational Summary
Given frustrations with their current development partner, Diocesan has asked Accelerance to lead a search for a new group that could begin work as soon as possible.
In July, Accelerance confirmed the frustrations Diocesan had been experiencing, namely:
- Sub-standard code quality despite generally adequate core technology decisions.
- Issues resulting from multiple developers touching the same code.
- Deficiencies in overall processes and project management approach, impacting productivity and quality.
- Inadequate project and technical management resulting in the remote team not being properly guided, compounding issues inherent with that remote team.
Despite the best efforts to mitigate these issues, they have only continued.
So, when considering a new partner, Accelerance recommends one who:
- Possesses a sound QA process
- Has experience in transitioning projects from failed vendors
- Offers excellent project management skills
- Demonstrated expertise in the related tech stack.
