The limitations of a Traditional Approach

A Traditional solution is a must for many applications, that notwithstanding in many business scenarios, original and alternative solutions often prove to be more cost-effective and more performant. More and more often, our clients ask for quick and agile solutions, however the traditional approach requires high investments and dilated development times, leading to increased fixed costs and project risks. As a result, the cost-benefit analysis is frequently a complex step to overcome. Although traditional software are developed in agile methodologies, due to the high architectural complexity, we often end up being slave of many constraints:

  • difficulty on setting up sprint reviews ahead of time
  • unpleasant misalignments between developers and business
  • high necessary resources to reach tangible results
As a consequence, clients have to bear high project fixed costs, dilated time-to-market and time-to-breakeven and a poor ROI.
