In today's world of rising costs, increased cyber threats, and other problems caused by software that frankly needs a serious quality boost, many organizations realize that they need to do something and take action to improve their development processes. Sadly, it is often difficult for businesses to find the time to devote to identifying and implementing the badly needed improvements. This is where Olokun Consulting can help.
Olokun Consulting can help you improve your software development organization’s efficiency and quality by taming the chaos that often results from fast paced software development. We can help your development teams become more agile by adopting Scrum and implementing a Continuous Integration system which in turn shortens the time to delivery, increases quality of the software offering and gives your software teams more ownership and accountability of what they deliver. This often translates into an improvement in work-life balance as well. In short we will help you to become better and more efficient at delivering the products that keep you in business.

The Scrum framework is what we use. The term "scrum", borrowed from rugby, relates to a 1986 Harvard Business Review paper by Hirotaka Takeuchi and Ikujiro Nonaka where they described a new approach to product development that they called the "rugby approach". The British rugby term "scrummage", refers to getting the ball in play and the authors used case studies from manufacturing firms in the automotive, photocopier, and printer industries as the basis. They observed that teams worked more effectively when they collaborated like a rugby scrum, passing the ball back and forth to move forward. Jeff Sutherland co-created the Scrum framework in 1993 with Ken Schwaber, usin the term "scrum" in reference to the Harvard paper. Scrum has since evolved into a popular agile framework that's used to help teams deliver value faster and adapt to changing needs.
