While from a variety of backgrounds including Front End and Back End developers, the group had one thing in common – a strong desire to learn.

We have many reasons to be proud of the hard working, dedicated employees of Velocity Partners LLC including their big hearts. Throughout 2016 VP made monthly donations to Hopelink, a charitable organization that works toward ending poverty in the greater Puget Sound area. It was also the charity our company chose to be the recipient of a special Christmas donation.
In addition to the firm’s support, our U.S. employees got involved in a big way by raising money as well as purchasing donations that were targeted for area teenagers. Items included Seahawks gear, ear phones, yoga mats and other sports items. Our generous employees ended up donating more than $1,000 worth of goods that were delivered to Hopelink in time for the Christmas celebration. We also had several employees attend the Hopelink annual luncheon where they made further donations that were matched by Velocity Partners. All total we raised $5,000 for Hopelink. For a little background on the organization, Hopelink was started in 1971 on the vision of a community free of poverty. It is the largest social service agency in north and east King County and serves homeless and low-income families, children, seniors and people with disabilities. Their goal is to provide stability and help so that people can gain the skills and knowledge they need to become self-sufficient. Each year Hopelink’s services reach about 64,000 people.

Again expert Bob Galen, Principle Agile Coach and consultant, recently posted a blog on our website that is extremely helpful to the community. He discusses a pattern of collaborative partnering over embedded UX in the teams or independent UX outside of the teams. Bob illustrates the point with a story that involved helping a client to understand and practice release-level planning across Scrum teams. He discusses some of the changes that were a result of his advice such as incorporating UX design work and cross-team dependencies in their projects.
In his example, the firm had hired a talented designer who was given the job of redesigning a few of their legacy applications as well as designing some new components. The problem was that the designer reported directly to the Chief Product Owner and developed an entire view toward a redesign of a specific area in their product line. Furthermore, it was done without any input from the development Scrum teams. On top of that, the Chief Product Owner began to push the teams toward the new design ideas. Bob initially was brought in to fix another problem, but as an Agile expert he soon found people looking to him for a solution. His first efforts involved engaging the designer in a release planning exercise that included allowing the designer to present her ideas to the team. In addition the team was allowed to brainstorm design ideas and story reactions of their own. The next step was to allow the whole group to create a merged or shared view of the work via user stories. The goal was to allow the Scrum team as well as the designer to develop a shared view for what would become a feasible plan. We encourage you to take a look at the rest of Bob’s posts along with his many other very informative blogs. For 15 years, he has been a pragmatic and passionate Agile trainer, coach and practitioner and has successfully leveraged Agile methods as the best way to deliver software value. He states that, “While not being a silver bullet, they simply work better than anything I've tried.” Velocity Partners is an offshore software development company which uses a distributed Agile model that offers outstanding planning, accurate delivery and optimal business value.
