Last fall I received an email with the software requirements from a potential customer that would establish us in an important new market. We had been brought in when the client had only two months left before deploying their chosen solution. The customer requirements list is vague and long, but the prize is big. Could we design and deploy major functionality in just two months? Thanks to agile development and some fortunate circumstances, our team of four delivered the functionality, won the deal, pleased the users, and didn’t work an hour of overtime.
In May 2007, our DISA customer asked Pragmatics to support the requirements definition and development of a new web application for the Joint Forces Command (JFCOM) Joint Staff (JS). JFCOM needed to have the application built, delivered and fielded in a tight, six-week time frame.
