The is much to be learned from 30 years of IT consulting.  I share this knowledge through IT coaching to help companies improve the way they deliver software applications.  The topics covered could include:

  • Mentor your internal IT manager on current trends and topics
  • Application portfolio analysis and rationalization
  • SDLC Process Improvement
  • Establish a Center of Excellence around a specific technology or standard (such as MVC or SOA)

 

Some ways I do this include:

  • Facilitated sessions to understand the existing environment and create roadmaps for how to implement change.
  • Consensus building among your team so everyone agrees on the priorities and how to achieve them.  Most importantly in this is documentation of decision criteria for future reference.
  • Recommendation for cost reduction and/or application consolidation.
  • Identification of opportunities to monetize existing intellectual property and assets.
