High Velocity Product Development

Is your software development productivity improving faster than your competition?

Companies thrive or fail based on their ability to identify, monitor and respond to the key performance indicators (KPIs) that represent how the organization is running.

On-Fire automates data-mining of development systems for timely, relevant decision support information and transforms the results into knowledge and action that drive peak performance.

Project Capacity Management

Overloaded development?

Overloaded development teams rarely deliver high performance. Over-committed development teams are a rampant problem according to most industry surveys.

Too many active projects?

Metrics for development team utilization are not well understood nor used in portfolio decision support.

On-Fire's modeling tools evaluate development's capacity for work against the resource demands of alternative project portfolios.

Customer testimonial

"On-Fire's capacity management technology proved that our organization badly over-drove the development resources. This chronic condition masked poor individual performance that contributed to schedule slippage and poor productivity. With On-Fire's help, we were able to identify and solve both problems."

David Duehren, CTO, Brooktrout Technology
