Nineleaps: Substantiating the Agile Philosophy

Nineleaps undertakes proof of concepts that leverage DevOps and Microservices to ensure that clients stay ahead of the technology curve. “One of our distinct advantages is our deep technology know-how, which we can tap into our clients’ business strategy and support their agile projects,” adds Vivekanand. By taking a holistic approach to agile, Nineleaps provides a unique recipe that comprises vital ingredients such as people, processes, and technology stacks to forge the ideal strategy for the design, implementation, and monitoring of business operations.

With such a progressive approach, the company has demonstrated its ability to understand its clients’ requirements, empowering them to achieve their organizational goals. Nineleaps’ association with a global telecommunications solution provider substantiates its credibility in addressing business requirements through agile development. The client’s virtual healthcare system had lengthy release cycles for every product update, which stunted the ability of business teams to respond to the customer demands. Adding to the challenges, the lengthy production cycles delayed the process of debugging and resolution of production issues. As a countermeasure, Nineleaps adopted the Agile Scrum Process managed through JIRA and employed Slack for interdepartmental and team communications to strike the balance between business objectives and product reliability. To ensure the stability of product release cycles, Nineleaps implemented a strict Definition of Done (DoD) and Non-Functional Requirements (NFR) with a CI/CD pipeline for faster turnaround intervals of releases. An automated test framework was implemented to ascertain the immediate feedback loops, and the results were noteworthy. Nineleaps enabled shortened monthly release cycles, all the while reducing the number of issues reported in production and the time interval between development and product release. As an outcome, the business teams of the telecommunications solution provider successfully signed multi-million dollar contracts in India, growing in line with the envisaged Indian Government Healthcare initiative.

This is just one of the many endeavors that highlight the importance of agile and Nineleaps’ proficiency in delivering enhanced performance capabilities. As an extension to their expertise in agile, the team at Nineleaps is working on an open source initiative for effective and efficient delivery strategies. “Our efforts are aimed at strengthening the agile methodology and developing a robust portfolio that empowers customers to attain their organization goals,” summarizes Vivekanand.
