Diversity at work: Women of Cuttlesoft engaging in a crucial software development discussion

Since the beginning, Cuttlesoft has been a technology agnostic company. This means two things:

#1

Solutions are unique to and fit the problem being solved

#2

Diversity of thought is an organic principle of our team

This isn't the easy approach. It's the right one. By maintaining proficiency with many different standards, we're able to provide an increased level of service that's decoupled from any single technology, language, or trend. It means we're able to serve a broader range of clients and be prepared for evolving needs.

Plus, the team at Cuttlesoft gets to call themselves a rather fancy word: Polyglots.

pol·y·glot (noun)
a person who knows and is able to use several languages.
Project Journey

Here's how we take your project from start to finish.

Discovery

We think of this initial phase as a fact-finding mission. It's a chance for our team of experts to dive into the problem space, build mental models, and come out with a charted path.

Analysis

During the analysis phase, we break down the deliverables, draft the Project Charter into detailed business requirements, and align on acceptance criteria and KPIs.

Development

The title "Development" can be misleading as it covers many areas of work. This phase is where the design, engineering, and testing of the software is performed.

Release

Once the software is tested and compared against the acceptance tests and KPIs defined in step 2, the system is ready for its initial deployment. From there, we'll move on to user testing and repeat the process.

Dynamics

Engineering. Product. Design.

We believe communication is the most vital component of any team. As the dynamics of software teams evolve, new disciplines are created.

Roles such as Product Management, UX Research, DevOps, and Interaction Design are now integral to the success of digital products. This means that teams can become larger and more diverse than ever before.

That's a good thing!

Teams that are diverse in disciplines are just one way that Cuttlesoft builds success into our game plan. But that's not the only reason we do it. We often say "vaporware leaves poor reviews" because we know getting to market and winning customers is the goal.

Each project's team features a product manager focused on business objectives and delivering value, a design lead to ensure we attract those customers, and of course, expert engineers to bring your brilliance to life!

Organizations which design systems are constrained to produce systems which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations.
