I’ve been discussing the Gear Stream cloud factory model that establishes a pattern for software development characterized by high velocity, high reliability, high dependability, and high predictability-from start to finish. Here are the final three key components of the model: Acceptance: In the Gear Stream model, acceptance is effectively guaranteed by the time the software Continue
The GearStream Cloud Factory Model Continued
My last post introduced the GearStream cloud factory model that establishes a pattern for software development characterized by high velocity, high reliability, high dependability, and high predictability-from start to finish. Here are three more key components of the model: Cloud factory: The heart of the GearStream model is the cloud factory itself, which relies on Continue
The GearStream Model: Restoring health to software outsourcing
To help companies transition to an on-demand cloud factory, GearStream has introduced a cloud factory model that establishes a pattern for software development characterized by high velocity, high reliability, high dependability, and high predictability-from start to finish. The model is made up of eight key stages and strategies, which I’ll address over the next several Continue
