Discover BEST™: The ultimate framework for accelerating software delivery.

Why BEST™

BEST™ was developed for technical decision makers who are tired of delayed product launches, missed deadlines, and endless rounds of defects.

Lack of delivery traction is frequently blamed on a variety of issues, such as:

• Inadequate communication among team members
• Frequent changes in priorities
• Lack of clear project goals and objectives
• Insufficient or inadequate resources, including budget, time, and personnel
• Inefficient development methodologies and practices
• Dependencies on third-party tools or technologies
• Difficulties with integrating software components or systems
• Poorly written or incomplete code
• Staff turnover or lack of skilled developers
• Conflicts or disagreements among team members
• Delays in obtaining necessary approvals or permissions
• Inadequate documentation or outdated documentation
• Security vulnerabilities and concerns
• Insufficient or inadequate testing
• Ineffective monitoring
• Etc.

Most of those issues can be prevented and/or quickly solved by rolling out a new way of working.

Developed by Six Feet Up, a software consultancy with 20+ years of experience, the BEST™ framework uses a combination of proprietary individual assessments, advanced data charts, and team/individual coaching to cut down on development time and allow your team to focus on building features that matter.

What is BEST™

The Best Enterprise Software Techniques (“BEST”) framework is designed to streamline development process, increase productivity, and reduce time to market.

BEST™ consists of four powerful phases that work together to provide you with comprehensive insights, actionable recommendations, and expert coaching.

1. The first phase is individual online assessments, where each team member answers questions to assess their SDLC practices. This data is then compiled to generate individual and team charts that compare scores across people and groups, giving you a clear picture of where each team stands and what areas need improvement.
2. In the second phase, our expert team analyzes the results of the assessments and generates recommendations for improvements based on the data. These recommendations are organized in priority order, so you can focus on the most critical areas first and ensure maximum impact on your team's performance.
3. Once the areas for improvement have been identified, our third phase focuses on coaching and mentoring to help your team members develop the best practices they need to excel. We will work with your team to develop customized training plans and provide ongoing support to ensure that everyone is equipped to perform at their best.
4. Finally, in the fourth phase, you will track progress over time and see the impact of the improvements you have made. This data-driven approach ensures that you are always making informed decisions and taking action based on real insights.

In summary, BEST™ offers a comprehensive solution for optimizing your team's performance and productivity. With individual assessments, team comparisons, data-driven recommendations, and expert coaching, we are confident that our framework will help you unlock your team's full potential and achieve your goals. Whether you're an enterprise or a startup, this framework is an invaluable resource for any software development team looking to stay on top of their game and drive their business forward.
