Accelerated Software Development Build Great Software – Fast

Accelerated Software Development is Surround's overarching strategy for developing software faster and better.

Charter Global Accelerated Software Development Strategy solves the biggest problem plaguing enterprise software development – software change. It is a comprehensive software development strategy that substantially accelerates the creation, modernization, delivery, and maintenance of high-quality state-of-the-art software for companies of all sizes and industries.

Whether building new software, adding new functionality to existing software, or modernizing legacy applications, with Software Development your developers can develop faster, with better results, and more functionality. They'll build the software you need at a cost that makes sense and, in the time, the frame needed, delivering the software your employees, customers, business partners, and vendors will love.

There are 6 key factors that impact how successful a software development project will be, if at all.

Risk: Success for any project is dependent on effective management of risks, both early on and throughout the project's lifespan. Identifying, quantifying, addressing, and monitoring risk is crucial to project success.

Schedule: Project time frames may have varying degrees of impact on the expected return on investment. Some projects may have very hard deadlines with direct implications on costs and opportunities to capture the return, while others have soft flexible deadlines. Whether hard or soft, missing deadlines will increase risks, break budgets, require more resources, reduce quality, and drop functionality. It is critically important these deadlines are realistic and well understood by the team.

Budget: Cost parameters directly influence the expected return on investment. Budgets should not be arbitrary or unreasonable but should be as quantifiable as possible and encompass all aspects of the project that can have a monetary component. Thorough planning upfront assures that the budget is credible and leads to a successful project.

Resources: Determining and finding the necessary resources including time, money, skills, tools, and equipment can often be daunting, yet absolutely essential to a project’s success.

Quality: The quality, or degree of excellence, of the software, will be the final test for getting the expected return. More than simply bug-free code, quality is about delivering on the defined scope and expectations of the project. Quality covers many areas of the software, such as usability, robustness, utility, beauty, security, performance, reliability, maintainability, and so much more. It is important to identify and define what level of quality is necessary to deliver the expected return and what that cost will be.

Scope: Encompasses the business, functional, technical, and other elements that make up the project deliverables. The better these are defined, the lower the risk, and the more realistic the budget and schedule can be made, offering a higher likelihood of project success.

How Accelerated Software Development Helps?

Charter Global created Accelerated Software Development and first defined it as anything that reduces effort, duration, or investment without reducing quality or scope. This remains our company's internal definition today.

However, as we further defined what this meant, it was clear that our definition of quality and functionality (scope) far exceeded that of most of our customers, to their general delight. So, for our customers, Accelerated Software Development is defined as developing faster with better results and more functionality or, shortened as simply Faster, Better, More.

Accelerated Software Development provides strategies to address various business technology needs along with defined processes to execute those strategies, guidance on best practices, and a set of tools to facilitate it all. In addition, Surround can provide people to train, mentor, manage, lead, and develop. It really is all as good as it sounds.

The Accelerator Development solutions are a big part of the strategies as they provide core architecture, productive user experience, and development accelerators.

Employees can create sites to share documents and information with colleagues, partners, and customers.

The world today is known for all things online, from meetings to meetups to tracking assets and goods.

How Can I See & Improve Rankings of My Core Web Vitals?

What Are Core Web Vitals?

Core Web Vitals are a set of specific factors that Google considers important in a webpage’s overall user experience. Core Web Vitals are made up of three specific page speed and user interaction measurements: largest contentful paint, first input delay, and cumulative layout shift.

Which are the 3 Core Web Vitals Metrics?

The performance of these 3 factors will entirely affect how someone engages with a site and will change their overall experience with it:

1. Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) is an element that analyzes how fast the majority of content on a page is loaded.

2. First Input Delay (FID), analyzes how fast people can interact with the loaded content.

3. Cumulative Layout Shifts (CLS) deals with the analysis of the surprise content layout movement.

At the moment, there are only approximately 15% of all websites that actually measure up to the standards of Google’s 2021 Core Web Vitals. It means nearly every website has improvements and enhancements to make in its UX designs to remain competitive.

How to Measure Core Web Vitals?

Google aims to make it easy for all site owners to access and measure Core Web Vitals.

Chrome UX Report

Site owners can utilize the Chrome UX Report to quickly assess the performance of all signals.
Currently, the Big Query dataset surfaces publicly accessible histograms for all Core Web Vitals.
Google is working on a new REST API that will make it easy to access both URL and origin level data.

Core Web Vitals Extension

Google is working on a Core Web Vitals extension for the Chrome browser that’s currently in developer preview.

The Chrome extension surfaces a visual indicator about the state of each vital as a user browses the web.
In future updates, the extensions will also allow users to view aggregated real-user insights (provided by Chrome UX Report) about the state of each core vital for the current URL and origin.

If you’re looking for ways to improve your website’s UX so you can increase search rankings, drive more traffic, and boost conversions (and even sales!), keep reading.

The Gift of Volunteering

Saturday, December 5^th is “International Volunteer Day” where people from all around the globe work together to make the world a better place. This special day was first recognized by the United Nations (UN) in 1985, as “an opportunity for us all to promote volunteerism in all communities, encourage governments to support volunteer efforts, and recognize volunteer contributions and accomplishments.” The UN’s theme for this year, 2020 is: “Together We Can Through Volunteering”.

 

 

Charter Global has been proud to partner with Open Doors in Atlanta, GA for over two years providing development resources to support their important mission: “Making Connections to End Homelessness – connecting Non-Profit organizations to real estate operators, Open Doors has created a system that works better for everyone.”

 

 

The connections include 85 Non-Profits serving the homeless community, 334 Rental Companies that rent to people with rental barriers, and 107 Management Companies helping to make the connections.

 

 

Open Doors accomplishments are worth celebrating:

 

• 30 Days to find a home (on average)
• 7,852 Placements (since 2013)
• 1,203 Veterans placed (since 2016)
• 685 Children (housed since 2019)

 

 

We all know that 2020 has been a difficult year for everyone and it is for that reason, we should roll-up-our sleeves, put on a mask, and get out there to help someone in need. You can also contribute from your own home, such as donate to organizations that are getting out there to volunteer. The gift you will receive is a feeling of joy that you helped someone who needed it most. Happy International Volunteer Day from Charter Global.

Many of us are looking towards 2021 with hope for a better year to build on the business we have established and expand for the future. In other words, let’s keep moving and keep growing!

 

 

Business expansion can be an exciting and challenging time, as leaders and managers work to delineate and define exactly what types of new staff members are needed.
