Our Uniques

What makes Six Feet Up stand apart from other software consulting companies?

Rigorous

As an EOS company, our operational rigor is underpinned by data-driven insights and a consistent weekly cadence of reviews.

We adhere to a robust and adaptive framework known as Flex6, which promotes continuous refinement from the project's inception all the way through to its launch.

To lay the foundation for each endeavor, our planning phase rigorously outlines a comprehensive Game Plan™. This not only includes details about features and functionality but also features a Complexity Scorecard™ that quantifies the complexity of each work unit in terms of difficulty, uncertainty, and effort.

To maintain alignment and adaptability, we engage our clients in weekly Pulse Meetings, ensuring that we are consistently on the same page and making adjustments as necessary. Additionally, every project undergoes two Pit Stops and a 360º Retrospective, serving as built-in checkpoints for quality and opportunities for improvement in our Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).

Synergistic

Upon approval of the Game Plan™, we take synergy to the next level by assembling a specialized Impact Team™. This group of engineers is carefully selected based on a multi-faceted evaluation, considering their technical skills, industry-specific experience, interests, and even emotional intelligence (EQ+IQ).

Real-time communication with our clients is facilitated through Slack, and regular weekly review meetings are held to ensure we remain aligned on goals and expectations.

Internally, our developers participate in daily standup meetings to tap into collective wisdom. Should any specialized expertise be needed, subject matter experts (SMEs) are promptly consulted. During mission-critical phases such as launch operations, our senior engineers in the "Mission Control" team are on standby to provide immediate assistance, ensuring a seamless transition.

Forward-Thinking

Adhering to the mantra of “aiming three times, measuring twice, and cutting once,” we embed forward-thinking into our organizational DNA. To elevate our strategic planning, we tap into the decades-long experience of our "Gray Hair" Counselors who offer invaluable technical strategies and practical feasibility assessments.

All our technical roadmaps are further vetted by our Senior Architect Guild, ensuring that they are not only robust but also future-ready. This forward-thinking approach equips us to anticipate and adapt to the ever-changing technological landscape, thereby delivering solutions that stand the test of time.

Our Guiding Principles

Here are the tenets that have guided us and will continue to affect our everyday decisions:

• Open Communication
• Transparency
• Diversity, Equity, Inclusion
• Human-friendly
• Dedication to Making an Impact
• Sustainability and Long-Term Growth

Our Values

The CLICK core values encapsulate our approach and aspiration as a team, and we're excited to have them guide us in delivering outstanding service:

C - Communicate

Communication is the foundation of everything we do at Six Feet Up. Whether it's among team members or with clients, open dialogue ensures that everyone is aligned toward the same goals. Transparency is key; we discuss issues, present options, and offer recommendations to make sure everyone is informed and empowered.

L - Lead

Leadership is not just a role but a responsibility at Six Feet Up. We're not just about meeting expectations but exceeding them. We're proactive thinkers, offering expert advice and innovative solutions. Where some might see challenges, we see opportunities to take the reins and lead the way.

I - Improve

Improvement is a continuous journey, especially in the ever-evolving tech landscape. At Six Feet Up, we're passionate about both personal and professional growth. Learning is a never-ending cycle for us; we're always tinkering with new ideas, honing our skills, and searching for ways to be better than we were yesterday.

C - Collaborate

Collaboration is the cornerstone of our success. Our team is a tapestry of diverse experts, each contributing unique skills and perspectives. We foster a supportive and selfless environment, where the collective wisdom is far greater than individual know-how. Our clients are an essential part of this collaborative equation; their insights and objectives shape the work we do.

K - Knock Their Socks Off

At Six Feet Up, "good enough" is never enough; we aim to amaze. Each project is an opportunity to show our creativity and innovation. We go the extra mile to deliver solutions that not only solve problems but also captivate and inspire. Our goal is to make every client interaction a 'wow' experience.
