Thinking about Transformation. Together
Navigate transformations on the path for growth with courage and excitement
Scaling up a business is a staged process; once in a while it requires reconsidering the fundamentals and redrawing them. Part of non-functional requirements, growth impacts directly the architecture of the software product and requires significant effort that yields only long term value, hence often being deprioritized.
As a consultant, I can help with putting non-functional requirements back on the map and model the new product architecture, making the application ready for the next stage. This implies bringing business, product and tech in the same game, which I can help you design.
