4 Week Engagement

Developer Velocity Assessment

Create tech intensity across your organization

Hitachi Solutions’ Modern Solutions team uses a rigorous and yet agile approach to software development to achieve high developer velocity, quality, and predictability using modern techniques, tools, and technologies. Our framework for success is built on industry-recognized practices and principles that drive repeatable results.

Learn from our team how to apply our framework to help your teams accelerate delivery and do it with higher quality and less burnout. Work with our team of development leaders who will help you assess your teams’ use of modern development techniques, tools, and technologies and create step-by-step, customized guidance for adopting our framework for development success.
