Composite Software – Why we should care
Our businesses change, and the software we rely on to help us manage it no longer supports the way we operate. We either have to adapt the way we work to fit the software we purchased, or wait for the features we need in a future release from the vendor, or buy more software.
Whatever direction we take, the business usually changes again before we complete the effort.
We should care about Composite Software because it offers a better solution to this problem, one that delivers software that conforms precisely to the way people and businesses operate.
Composite Software – What it is
Composite software builds new software processes around the functions and features of existing applications. Composite software has at least two important benefits:
- Supporting software matches the operation
- Legacy applications can be synchronized to form a single, automated business process
Ceiba Agile Methodology
The first step in this direction involves the people who know how things should work. Ceiba’s Agile Methodology taps into the knowledge and experience of users, allowing people to evolve their thinking through interaction, and then creates rapid, incremental releases of structured software processes that conform this thinking.
The goal is to deliver working software incrementally through teamwork. Key points to remember about Agile:
- Scope creep is to be expected
- Frequent communication is its foundation
- Priority-setting is a team effort
- Software delivery is incremental
