MethodiQA is a boutique consulting firm specialising in the areas of Release Management and Environment Management. We predominantly focus on the project coordination and management aspects of a release the test environments underpinning it. We plan, manage and control thus fulfilling the key DevOps attributes of better collaboration and cooperation between business and IT and improved efficiency between ‘development’ and ‘operations’. While Release and Environment Engineering teams have solid understanding of Devops tools and development standards, and also maintain awareness of operational considerations, they ultimately solve problems with technology. Although technology is a key enabler for releases and test environments, concentrating entirely on the technical elements fails to see the full challenge of project coordination and management. Releases and test environment are complex and cut across company wide. When multiple groups have to operate and co-exist within the same boundaries, these problems are far more challenging than technical problems. This is where MethodiQA operates – we plan, communicate, track, assess risk, evaluate timelines, consider contingency plans, and orchestrate activities across the organisational groups while maintaining auditable track. We are professionals focused on people and process. We understand the technology aspects and it’s key role but we also understand and know the bigger picture – We make Development, Quality assurance groups and business stakeholders, understand each other’s needs and align to a common set of activities and milestones that make a solid release. With over 15 years experience, we have helped many prominent clients across a range of different business verticals achieve successful releases bedded into production.
