Enterprise Java Development - Introduction<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our client, a US retail home center leader, was looking to expand their existing IT department and bring in more Java development experts. They would develop new applications and enhance their online products. With more than three hundred home improvement stores in fourteen states, the client already had an established IT department that supported their infrastructure. Still, new projects demanded an increase in the workforce. However, due to the local labor market landscape, frequent job-hopping was the norm, especially among the mid- to senior-level IT professionals.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Because of this situation, the client saw severe and persistent productivity drops, rising training costs, and high replacement costs. These challenges were impacting the client\u2019s profits and were severely reducing their returns. Unable to influence the sentiment of the labor market, the client engaged in discussions with a remote software development company \u2013 they wanted to find a way to expand their IT team and overcome the issue of employee retention.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>

Before approaching Shinetech in 2014, the client had already been using the services of a traditional development team. At that time, the client became increasingly disappointed with their traditional outsourcing approach based on the Waterfall methodology. The client needed to spend the same amount of management as well as development efforts but saw no actual results. It was imperative to change to a modern, self-management remote team \u2013 something we at Shinetech specialize in. Also, having seen the practices our experts followed when working with IKANO (IKEA\u2019s sister company), the client\u2019s IS Director was very comfortable with setting up a trial period and further discussing our cooperation.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

At first, we assembled a four-person strong team \u2013 three Java development experts and one QA. The client started their one-week free trial with this team. After initially observing what our experts could do, the client initiated the vendor assessment process, which lasted another six weeks. During this process, which consisted of tracking and measuring daily practices, Shinetech experts produced high-quality code and features. Several factors influenced the client\u2019s decision to choose Shinetech as their go-to vendor \u2013 high-quality deliverables, adaptable practices, and technical expertise, among others. After this assessment process, Shinetech became the client\u2019s software development partner.<\/p><\/div>

The team then gradually grew to 10 people, so in order to retain high-
level productivity and to have the workflow run smoothly, we
introduced numerous Agile practices, such as:<\/p><\/div>
