Planning

• Planning service: Yes
• How the planning service works: Planning for Continuous Delivery in enterprise architecture begins with a comprehensive assessment of the existing development, testing, and deployment processes to identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies. We engage with stakeholders across IT and business units to define clear objectives and map out an integrated strategy that aligns with organizational goals. This phase includes establishing a blueprint for the automation of builds, tests, and deployment processes, and selecting the appropriate tools for configuration management, version control, and monitoring. We also plan for the integration of security and compliance checks throughout the deployment pipeline. By setting up a phased implementation timeline, we ensure that each step is manageable and minimizes disruption to ongoing operations, with contingency plans in place to address potential setbacks.
• Planning service works with specific services: No

Training

• Training service provided: Yes
• How the training service works: Training is crucial to ensuring that all team members are proficient in the new tools and processes introduced with the continuous delivery system. We offer customized training modules that cover the end-to-end continuous delivery pipeline, including development, QA, deployment, and monitoring. Training sessions are designed to be interactive and are tailored to the specific needs of the development, operations, and business teams. We also provide ongoing education on new features and best practices in continuous delivery and DevOps, ensuring that your team remains updated on industry standards and technologies. Support is extended through detailed documentation, regular workshops, and direct access to our experts for troubleshooting and advice, empowering your team to efficiently manage and optimize the continuous delivery pipeline
• Training is tied to specific services: No

Setup and migration

• Setup or migration service available: Yes
• How the setup or migration service works: The setup phase involves configuring the continuous delivery environment, which includes setting up servers, storage, and networking that support the scalability and security requirements of enterprise applications. We install and configure the necessary CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitLab, or CircleCI, and integrate them with existing enterprise systems like ERP, CRM, and other critical business applications. The migration involves moving existing code repositories, development workflows, and deployment scripts to the new system. This process is meticulously managed to ensure data integrity and minimal downtime. During migration, we also perform system integration tests to ensure that all components work seamlessly together. This setup supports a robust continuous delivery pipeline that can handle the complexities of enterprise architecture.
• Setup or migration service is for specific cloud services: No

Quality assurance and performance testing

• Quality assurance and performance testing service: Yes
• How the quality assurance and performance testing works: Quality assurance in continuous delivery involves setting up automated pipelines that include code analysis, unit testing, integration testing, and security assessments to ensure high-quality deployments. We implement dynamic testing environments that can simulate real-world user traffic and interactions to validate the performance and reliability of different architectural components under varied conditions. Continuous feedback loops are integrated to quickly relay any issues back to developers. We use advanced monitoring tools to track the health of applications post-deployment, which helps in proactively identifying and mitigating risks. QA practices are not only aimed at detecting defects but also at optimizing processes to improve efficiency, security, and performance in subsequent cycles.

  Fighting climate change

  We are committed to further reducing our carbon footprint aiming to be carbon neutral by 2050, in line with the Climate Change Act 2008. Work from home; Our team are predominantly home based providing a reduction in emissions linked to travelling to and heating or powering the premises. IT Infrastructure: Scrumconnect has no on-premise server infrastructure with all our services being cloud based with AWS. AWS will be powered by 100% renewable energy by 2025. Cycle to work scheme: To reduce the carbon footprint of employees travelling to the premises we have an established cycle to work incentive.

  Covid-19 recovery

  Scrumconnect are committed to providing tangible community benefits for the public sector and driving social change through programs recognised for delivering results for underrepresented and disadvantaged groups. Scrumconnect Cloud has recently launched Scrumconnect Academy, which aims to provide free training and mentorship to retrain people from industries affected by Covid19 to become cloud native experts (Candidates recently made redundant, unemployed individuals with outdated skills, disadvantaged youths, veterans and military spouses and disabled people). Scrumconnect Academy will aim to tackle the misrepresentation of women (make up 26% of tech roles) and Black, Asian or minority ethnic backgrounds (make up 15.2% of tech roles) by focusing recruitment on these underrepresented groups. Additionally, Scrumconnect run 'Get Certified Challenges' periodically where we organised free bootcamps and training materials with AWS to fund exams for those affected by Covid19.

  Tackling economic inequality

  We’ll Provide training/employment opportunities, for those facing barriers to employment and/or are from deprived areas through our various partnership organisations like Diversifying groups, Jobs With pride Support digital literacy through skills development/qualifications attainment/job creation initiatives e.g. 2x starters this month via T-Level apprenticeship program Address skills shortages in high-growth sectors (Tech/Digital/Data); providing educational advice/career development/job opportunities by volunteering and sponsored events

  Equal opportunity

  We will: Ensure equitable treatment of employers, contractors and the communities integral to our value chain by implementing fair employment and equal pay practices Offer high-quality training and job creation initiatives specifically designed to empower individuals who face barriers to employment or come from deprived areas. Example: We welcomed two new starters via Disability Rights UK and in the past year we've seen more than 25% of our new hires originating from ethnic minority backgrounds via Diversifying groups Establish an inclusive work environment aided by our transparent HR policies that apply consistently from the recruitment process through promotion and compensation, benefiting both contractors and employees. Support digital literacy by actively promoting skills development, facilitating qualifications attainment, and launching initiatives that generate employment opportunities

  Wellbeing

We follow our commitment towards the 6 standards of Mental Health and ensure that our contractors/employees/Communities follow the same. We do a half yearly survey of staff engagement and bring in new policies/address needs based on the feedback. We conduct specific initiatives to promote healthy work environments. For e.g.: In times of COVID when people are connected remotely activities like virtual coffee mornings and community forums We have a well defined charter defining roles and responsibilities, job descriptions, work hours, flexible working options provided to every personnel as part of their onboarding process . Employee charter specific for this opportunity will be shared to clients prior to the start of the engagement.
