We call our approach to IT delivery Agile 5. It combines the concepts and principles of the CMMI Level 5 high-maturity process areas with Agile methodologies. This is done to significantly improve the delivery rate of product capabilities, while maintaining a high level of quality and employee satisfaction.

We found that our Agile 5 approach leverages the discipline, comprehensiveness, and sustainment focus of CMMI with the build, speed, and lean focus of Agile. This allows us to bring the best of both worlds to our clients.
