Introduction

Focus on delivering value to your customers immediately

We talk about delivery, value, and customers a lot because we’ve seen how inefficient a team that is constrained by process, culture, or technology can become.

One Cloud Acceleration Framework#

Practiv’s Acceleration Framework aims to measure what matters, focus on efficient delivery, avoid constraints on new projects, and de-risk constraints in established organisations.

Five Products#

The Cloud Acceleration Framework includes our Develop, Build, Run, and Infrastructure Products. They establish world-class pipelines, environments, patterns and processes in a matter of weeks, so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. It also includes our Digital Platform, a pre-defined set of services we can deploy quickly to build cloud-native APIs and compose software in a secure, scalable, repeatable way.

Our Products help your developers focus on customers, and work that gives your business the greatest bang-for-buck.

Hundreds of Components#

The Cloud Acceleration Framework Products include nearly four hundred Tools and Components, developed to support our own projects for customers that we tailor to your context. From green-fields proofs of concept, to refactoring large legacy applications to be cloud native in highly regulated industries. We can get you there, fast.

Every project is different, but scalable, repeatable patterns across projects help us create consistency, and conventions that get our whole delivery team on the same page fast.

Focused on delivery#

Delivering great outcomes starts by agreeing the metrics we’re going to turn, and how we’re going to turn them. This helps us truly understand the business problem we’re trying to solve. With that done, we can agree what success looks like; focus, and ruthlessly prioritize work.

Delivery cures all ills#

Having a product in production, shipping change to it weekly — if not daily — gives the team the right sense of accomplishment, and helps us on the most important thing: delivering value to customers.

Teams that understand their Why go home each day knowing they’ve achieved something in their day. When we’re motivated by the right outcomes, we’re less likely to over-engineer things.

“MVP” doesn’t need qualification#

We believe in having a production environment live, fast, and delivering small incremental change often. “MVP” is not a destination, it’s a small milestone on a longer journey, it represents the least work we can do before we’re suitably embarrassed bringing customer #1 on board to start our metric-driven feedback loop as early as possible. You don’t need a “skinny” MVP or an “MMVP”.

Context beats convention#

Our patterns and processes, our components and tools, are conventions that solve many of the problems you encounter when starting and scaling a development team. We’ve solved common problem using common software, to get you started without having to re-invent the wheel.

In saying that, your unique context is important. We want the territory to feel familiar, so our patterns and processes fit in with a wide range of tooling, services, and structures your teams are already familiar with. We want to enhance, not overlap your existing capability, and we want to augment your business where you can leverage our experience and products.
