IT Operations

IT Operations

Modern software development processes require involvement of the IT Operations element from the very start of the development project.

IT Operations is the enabler of automated delivery of the software through Continuous Delivery practices. It glues together different parts of the development process and enables faster time to market. Modern-day infrastructure/environment setups are described as a code and can be recreated whenever needed as many times as needed. When a product is put into production, keeping an IT environment running smoothly, requires constant supervision. There is a continuous need to install security patches and application updates, monitor the system status and its performance to identify and prevent potential problems, and when they do occur, quickly resolve issues regardless of the time of day or night during which they occur.

Hosting suppliers have made decisive progress to enable remote management of all software hosted in the Cloud or on virtual or physical servers.

This enables outsourcing of these activities to external parties and makes the physical location of the outsourcing party irrelevant. Still, being in the right time zone is important for daily contact between the customer and the service provider.

The Levi9 IT Operations Services consist of reactive/preventive and adaptive/innovative components. The reactive/preventive part of the service takes care that the systems are running smoothly through constant monitoring, updating/patching and incident resolution, whereby the adaptive/innovative part makes sure that systems meet changing business needs through change management. The innovative part is usually an integral part of Agile development. DevOps principles, supporting development teams, enable faster time to market for the customer’s software.

Our software development practices are based on the Agile and Lean methodologies

Software development teams are usually organized into multi-functional poly-skilled Scrum teams following DevOps recommendations. Depending on the stage of the product in the software development lifecycle, we might use Kanban, if the product is requiring more support related activities as opposed to further enhancement/innovation activities.

We provide remote IT Operations services in the following areas:

  • Cloud and Container Management
  • Infrastructure Automation
  • Configuration Management
  • Continuous Delivery
  • System Management
  • Virtualisation Services
  • Database Administration Services
  • Generic and specific packaged application services
  • Hosting services

Agile visibility

Agile visibility services

Levi9 provides services that help software development organizations to adopt agile processes in order to realize their full benefit: creating predictable output, achieving early ROI, delivering constant quality, lowering cost, ensuring a better product fit and facilitating innovation.

Agile = evidence-based acting. If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it.

Our agile visibility services include:

  • Assessments of the current state of an organization
  • Identification of valuable of metrics
  • Assisting in establishing internal agile advocates
  • Agile training and coaching

Agile implementation: Recognizing the Value

While agile implementation can be challenging, the ultimate reward of this investment is the result of higher customer satisfaction through continuous delivery of value-based, quality software.

Agile organizations aim to build the right software at the right time. Positive outcomes such as improved teamwork, better communication and other non-tangible benefits are difficult to measure. However, outcomes such as a reduction of risk and defects, technical debt, defects and development costs are measurable factors.  It’s important to quantify and utilize these metrics before and during your agile transformation. Review of these metrics will help drive sound decisions and provide better insights to performances of teams.

Agility services are based on 3 important principles:

Continuous improvement is based on data – Performance metrics are used to signal trends

The data is used by the team

The data is surrounded by conversations

Performance metrics

Predictability

Agile does not mean having no plans. Instead, agile requires a constant replanning. But, at the same time, we want plans to be predictable in nature. So, how do we achieve predictability? We are measuring the velocity of the teams and their capacity in man-days to achieve an important metric, the Focus Factor. We also measure the trend of the Focus Factor over time, to come to a figure that we use as planning input. The next metric that is needed in this equation is the Delivery Rate, an indicator for the commitment accuracy of teams over time.

Scope of Change

Another important metric is the Scope Change. Added and removed work during sprints often is an indicator for poor backlog readiness – or it may be induced by other disturbing factors – such as the Product Owner or the business changing its mind during Sprint execution.

Throughput – the number of days that a story is ‘in progress’, relative to its size, quality metrics, team morale and satisfaction – all these metrics are being captured, analyzed and discussed after each sprint. Results and actions are made transparent for all and followed up.

Within Levi9 we have Agile experts who has expertise in various agile methods and has experience in creating and leading customized agile transformation programs and solutions for various sized organizations. They are considered Agile advocates and experts of Agile Frameworks and adhere to those values and principles.

The power of trust

You might wonder – measuring all of this, does it not create an atmosphere of control, a culture of justification, a tool for management to blame? And indeed, this might happen if you don’t apply it in the right way. Introducing agile visibility in the right way is far from trivial.

But when done right, we can achieve great things:

  • Reducing risk and uncertainty
  • Better decision making
  • Establishing trust
  • Predictable delivery
  • High-performing, engaged teams

  • Deploying code thirty times more frequent with sixty times higher success rate
  • Having two hundred times faster lead time for implementation of changes
  • 168 times faster mean time to restore the service

These companies have higher growth rates, but also higher employee satisfaction and lower rates of employee burnout. They manage to consistently provide stable, reliable and secure service to their customers. A DevOps approach enables organizations to create a stable way of working, where small poly-skilled teams can efficiently and independently develop, test and deploy code and add value to customers, quickly, safely, securely, and reliably. The DevOps approach allows organizations to maximize productivity, enable organizational learning, create high-trust, high employee satisfaction collaborative culture that helps them win in the competitive market.

Our DevOps principles that we use to ensure continuous improvement in getting business ideas to production are:

  • Reduce batch sizes
  • Limit work in progress

Testing

Software testing services

Levi9 strongly believes that the quality of software is based on synergy of all the parties involved in the effort: Development, Testing and IT Operations. Continuous testing is of fundamental importance when implementing Continuous Delivery or Deployment.

The software testing process will start from the moment when the first line of code is created and submitted to the code repository, to ensure that success criteria and quality requirements will be met and will be compliant with the agreed Definition of Done. A continuous testing platform runs in the background, automatically executing the tests and ensuring that issues are identified almost immediately.

The key benefits of this technique include:

  • Helping extend agile and lean practices across the delivery lifecycle
  • Enabling teams to test earlier and with greater coverage at lower cost
  • Test scripts reusability on different environments
  • Providing teams with continuous feedback on software quality to reduce business risk
  • Committing working code frequently making roll-back easier in case of major new defects
  • Tests are automated and integrated into the build process as early as possible

Collaborative requirements creation

Collaborative requirements services

You have a great business idea yet you are struggling to transform it into a fully operational software product. Thereby it is essential to identify the factors that will influence your success by doing a proper assessment of the potential pitfalls. For this purpose, profound knowledge and understanding of both market and technology are required.

Co-creation

Based on years of experience with different types of software development projects across various industries and domains, Levi9 developed a structured approach to guide you through the initial Research & Development. After that, Levi9 will act as your partner for the end-to end implementation through Agile methodology, followed by future enhancements and ongoing product support.   

It all starts with giving your idea the right direction and narrowing down the possibilities to come to an initial set of features that will form the foundation of your new product.

We call this first phase Ideation, which consists of 3 time-boxed steps: Brainstorming, Idea collection and Idea development

Brainstorming takes place in a group of both customer and Levi9 team members and is meant to inspire as many ideas as possible in a spontaneous way. Levi9 facilitates and stimulates the discussion by not limiting the number of ideas brought forward, by offering no criticism and by welcoming ‘wild’, out-of-the-box concepts.

During the second step, Idea collection, the ideas listed are put into the perspective of your business, the current market and the latest technological developments. By elaborating and combining the ideas, they can be narrowed down to a single one

During the last step, Idea development, the selected idea is broken down into high level features. These features represent the most important and complex functionalities of the application. We will help to define these features and to identify potentially challenging technical aspects. Together, we will gather the relevant input and create a backlog for a Proof of Concept.

Validate the business idea

The next phase, Proof of Concept (PoC), is typically used to validate the selected business idea, to provide clean choices and to minimize the risks associated with a solution.The PoC is executed by an interdisciplinary team comprised of a Product Owner (a role typically fulfilled by a customer representative), as well as technical and domain experts from Levi9.

The general approach is to validate the envisioned solution in a time-boxed manner. 

The two most important elements of this phase are conclusiveness of the solution’s feasibility and time-boxing, which is to limit the timeline, resources and the effort invested in validating the direction taken.  

As the first step, Solution design is used to shape a solution for the selected idea. The multidisciplinary team works together to define the applicable (technical) solution. Together with the Product Owner, acceptance criteria are defined, which is to describe what is to be considered as a conclusive (positive/negative) confirmation of the solution.  

During the second step, Rapid development, the technical implementation is developed to a level sufficient to either confirm or dismiss a solution. The implementation process itself is organized along the lines of Scrum methodology, with frequent feedback moments, and is time-boxed. 

The last step, Solution evaluation looks at the results of development and evaluates the solution in light of the acceptance criteria. Everyone involved takes part in the evaluation, and it is one of the main go/no-go mechanisms for full-scale development. If the PoC phase has shown that the solution implemented or even the initial idea is wrong - there is no point in continuing in this direction. Therefore, this phase can include multiple iterations, each aiming to test a new hypothesis/idea. 

When the outcome is positive, full-scale development starts. Levi9 uses Feature-based development to ensure that end-user feedback is collected is early as possible, and to continuously align the software in development with the expectations of the stakeholders.
