For those sharp eye, old skool Agilists, the nimBOLD values may appear familiar.
They are aligned with the original Agile manifesto (https://agilemanifesto.org/)
- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
- Working software over comprehensive documentation
- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
- Responding to change over following a plan
nimBOLD is, at our core, in our DNA, coursing through every cell and synapse, an agile shop.
We were… a couple of software engineers, oppressed and shackled by the bonds of traditional waterfall project mgmt..
We were… eager and willing to demonstrate immediate value, by showing working software
We were… tired of the confrontational barriers, imposed by the traditional client/consultant paradigm
We were… exasperated at the heads down, walk right over a cliff approach, driven by an immoveable Gantt chart
Agile broke the chains, but we also understood, that the pendulum can always swing too far the other way.
We are a small a, agile shop…
This does NOT mean we throw out the things on the right, but simply we value the things on the left more.
We are pragmatists, balanced and nuanced in approach, carefully assessing the culture of the organization, to determine the appropriate balance between left & right.
