Processes and Methodologies

Choose Appropriate Methodologies

At Exceleries, we help you choose the best methods to improve how your teams work based on the assessment we perform. This includes selecting the right Agile framework for your teams, implementing DevOps practices to improve collaboration between development and operations, and introducing Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines for automated testing and deployment. Here’s how we achieve these key points using the AT-X framework:

Select the Most Suitable Agile Framework (e.g., Scrum, Kanban):

  • Understanding Your Team’s Needs: We start by understanding how your teams work and what their specific needs are.
  • Choosing the Right Framework: Based on the team’s workflow, we recommend an Agile framework like Scrum (if your team works well with structured sprints) or Kanban (if your team needs more flexibility with tasks).
  • Customizing the Approach: We tailor the chosen framework to fit your company’s unique processes, ensuring it supports your goals and work style.

Implement DevOps Practices (e.g., Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery):

  • Bringing Teams Together: DevOps helps development and operations teams collaborate better. We help you introduce practices that allow these teams to work together smoothly, ensuring faster delivery and fewer issues.
  • Automation of Key Tasks: We introduce automation for repetitive tasks, like code integration and testing, to save time and reduce errors.

Introduce Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) Pipelines:

  • Setting Up CI/CD Pipelines: We help set up pipelines that automatically test and deploy code, ensuring that changes are quickly and safely pushed to production.
  • Ensuring Fast Feedback Loops: With automated testing, teams get instant feedback on any issues, allowing for quicker fixes and faster product delivery.
Assess Current Process

ROADMAP

Phase 1
(1-2 weeks)
Assess Team Needs and Workflows
  • Meet with teams to understand their current workflows, pain points, and specific needs.
  • Analyze the development and operational workflows to see how teams collaborate and where improvements are needed
Phase 2
(2-3 weeks)
Select Agile Framework
  • Recommend the most suitable Agile framework (Scrum or Kanban) based on your team’s work style.
  • Customize the chosen framework to ensure it fits with your company’s processes and goals.
Phase 3
(3-4 weeks)
Implement DevOps Practices
  • Introduce DevOps practices to bridge the gap between development and operations.
  • Start with small changes like automated testing and continuous integration.
  • Ensure that both teams work together to streamline code deployment and issue resolution.
Phase 4
(4-6 weeks)
Set Up CI/CD Pipelines
  • Implement Continuous Integration (CI) for regular code integration, ensuring the code is tested automatically.
  • Set up Continuous Deployment (CD) pipelines to automate the process of pushing code to production after successful testing.
  • Create feedback loops for developers to quickly identify and resolve issues.
Phase 5
(Ongoing)
Monitor and Optimize
  • Monitor how the new Agile framework, DevOps practices, and CI/CD pipelines are performing.
  • Collect feedback from teams and make adjustments to improve efficiency.
  • Continue optimizing the workflow to ensure productivity and product quality.
