This is more frequently a political problem, rather than an engineering one. However, the best way to address it is asking an unaffiliated engineer to evaluate decisions based on their practicality. 

Despite it all being virtual, software design is still very much grounded in reality. Meanwhile many tend to go on building flying castles covered in elaborate ornaments but forget water pipes and proper ventilation. Each of our team members certainly made these mistakes before, and many times. We can now help you avoid them.

We avoid blindly following arbitrary sets of "best practices" or "latest trends" in favor of promoting clean, lean designs that will not overburden you from the start while maintaining unobstructed paths for future growth and change.

Pragmatism means suggesting "boring" technologies rather than cutting-edge when appropriate, and using standard tools and protocols wherever possible. This cuts costs, reduces risks, and increases predictability and planning quality for your project.

Our plans can be detailed enough to immediately start developing based on them, but are most often used as guides showing birds-eye views of the tasks at hand and outlining paths to take, pitfalls to avoid, expected metrics to achieve, and risks to consider.

We make sure that our plans include everything the project needs, not just software designs. This means taking documentation, testing, operations, training, security, compliance, and all relevant regulations into account. We can also supervise the execution of this plan if requested.
