How the planning service works
The CTI 'project approach' closely follows the Government defined; Digital by Default standard and the methodology set out in the GDS manual. Whilst we utilise a selection of technologies, our guiding principle is one of defining the right solution for the requirements and not one of making the requirements fit the technology. Our experienced Business Analyst and Solutions Architecture team undertake an immersive discovery, definition and design phase to ascertain the requirements, user journeys, KPI's and project scope; before we make the appropriate solution recommendations.

Quality assurance and performance testing

Quality assurance and performance testing service
Yes
How the quality assurance and performance testing works
The Quality Assurance team work closely with the whole team (both buyer and supplier side) ensuring a regular feedback and improvement cycle. This ultimately means our buyers are focussed on feature improvements rather than spotting bugs.

Our approach is to manage the process on QA and performance testing as part of our delivery service; ensuring the end product is supplied to the buyer in a state fit for immediate deployment. We use external services to undertake Penetration Testing and performance benchmarking and assess the results against our own expectations.

A Quality Assurance manager is involved from commencement and are responsible for defining Acceptance criteria with you and planning how we will test against. Testing forms an integral part of our development process and the QA team are typically involved from the beginning of the project. By including the team as part of discovery and scope definition, we can produce the acceptance tests by which the project is delivered; thus ensuring that acceptance testing during each sprint release is as straightforward as possible. As an integral part of the delivery process, the QA team are active at each stage of the process.

Fighting climate change

We’re investing in strategies to become carbon neutral through the schemes operated externally. Employees are encouraged to use modes of public transport where they are required to travel for business, or to care share. Where feasible, meetings are also facilitated remotely utilising a number of online communication tools. Day to day, more of our employees are working from home, reducing our overall carbon emissions; but when travelling into the office we also promote use of the company’s cycle to work scheme, along with rail and tram season tickets. Further we aim to purchase products and services from third party suppliers that share similar environmental positioning goals as our own.

Tackling economic inequality

We’re mindful of differing needs of all sections of the community when it comes to employment opportunities - we don’t use any auto-decision making in our recruitment process and no vacancies or roles require a University degree which could otherwise limit employment opportunities for those in deprived areas. Offering true flexible working, whether it be reduced hours or altered working hours to fit with childcare and increased working from home. A training and development fund is provided each year for employees to take advantage of and an allotted number of days which can be used for Continued Professional Development, to gain recognised qualifications. Training days are hosted for clients to join and learn new skills (outside of projects) and we continue to operate ‘Lunch and Learn’ sessions internally, for employees to not only learn topics relevant to their role, but their knowledge across wider business services.

Equal opportunity

Our ED&I policy aims to ensure that everyone is aware of our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion in all our activities; treating all employees and job applicant equally,
All employees are required to undertake mandatory training modules annually. These are: “Equality and Diversity in the Workplace” and “Unconscious Bias”. CTI’s employee-led intersectional ED&I Committee was founded in order to guide CTI on our journey to becoming a truly diverse and inclusive employer, by promoting community and wellbeing for all, championing inclusion throughout the company, celebrating diversity and keeping the Board accountable. They’ll also identify any specific training that they believe would be beneficial for employees to have.

Wellbeing

During employment our workforce receive a range of benefits that aid their financial, physical and mental wellbeing. This includes flexible working hours, cycle to work scheme, life cover and annual subscription to Leafyard (mental wellbeing platform). We have a health cash plan to encourage employees to keep healthy, accessing annual health checks and the ability to claim back for everyday health costs (e.g. eye tests, dental etc.); in addition to access to remote GP services and private health care cover. Our employee assistance programme includes a wellbeing portal which gives all employees access to support for stress, mental health difficulties, financial and legal advice. Across all technologies offered, we make active contributions to digital communities and have fostered great relationships within our partner network; both of which our employees are encouraged to be part of as subject to their role and ongoing CPD.
