Today’s engineering teams often use agile methods to guide software development and adhere to the principles outlined within the Manifesto for Software Development. These principles, which were created as an alternative to documentation driven, heavyweight software development, represent the dominant force that led to the ‘continuous delivery in software’ approach that is prevalent today.
At Talentica, we have worked alongside more than 150 software development teams, including early-stage companies, in the last two decades. This experience has underscored the need for a separate set of principles to help CEOs, CTOs, Engineering VPs, and other technology leaders to align their engineering teams with strategic outcomes beyond just product delivery.
