Katie Darcy
Kathryn (“Katie”) Darcy is an experienced leader, software solution developer, and strategic planner; specializing in the guidance and motivation of IT professionals in the production of high-quality products and services within minimal time frames.
Practice areas include:
Lean Project Management Techniques: Reorganization of IT teams around common Lean principles (Scrum, CMMI, ITIL, COBIT). Mixing of multiple software / project methodologies and philosophies to effectively manage risks while enabling teams to progress rapidly through a development life cycle and maintain momentum into product release.
Enterprise Architecture: analysis of abstract architectures and solutions to develop full enterprise service and product catalogs. Assessment and planning of solution architectures for projects or enterprises requiring a high level of integration (example: service oriented architectures using cloud-based services form multiple suppliers and partners).
Rapid Development Techniques for Minimum Viable Product (MVP) releases: Utilization of Object/Role Mapping and code generation to rapidly produce standardized code resulting in reduced development cost and "time to market" for initial system development and lower the total cost of ownership for recurring code-level maintenance.
