DATA-DRIVEN RECOMMENDATIONS
BEST™ provides you with personalized recommendations on 90 data points — across 19 units and 4 stages — for each software team. We make these recommendations easy to execute so that you know what to prioritize, where each team is performing well, and where each team needs improvement at a glance.
TEAM REPORTS
Decide which issues to focus on first with Team Reports.
Based on the results of each team, BEST™ will help you prioritize issues and make improvements efficiently and effectively.
STAGE REPORTS
See which teams are performing best in certain areas and empower your teams to use their distinct talents with Stage Reports.
For example, Team A could be excellent at documentation but need improvement with issue identification. Team B could be excellent at issue identification but need improvement with documentation. With this knowledge, instead of hiring a vendor to conduct training, you can pair Team A and Team B to transfer knowledge and accelerate improvement.
