Software developer

Objective

Support software developers in aligning their development tasks and documentation with the broader business architecture and strategic objectives within an Agile team setting.

Scenario

A software developer is working in an Agile team focused on delivering a new financial application. Orthogramic helps ensure that the developer’s work—be it code, technical documentation, or system integration—aligns with the organization's strategic goals, architectural standards, and regulatory requirements.

Steps and benefits

Align development tasks with strategic goals

Orthogramic helps developers map their user stories, sprints, and tasks to high-level strategic goals (e.g., compliance, security, customer satisfaction). This ensures that all code contributions not only meet technical requirements but also contribute to broader business objectives.

• Benefit: Developers can easily see how their work fits into the organization’s goals, making it easier to prioritize tasks and understand their impact.

Real-time document feedback for compliance and standards
As developers document code or technical designs, Orthogramic provides real-time feedback to ensure that documentation aligns with internal architectural standards and regulatory frameworks. For example, security compliance requirements in financial applications can be flagged during documentation updates.

• Benefit: Ensures that technical documentation is complete, compliant, and adheres to organizational standards, minimizing the risk of non-compliance or technical debt.

Cross-team collaboration and knowledge sharing
In Agile environments, collaboration between different teams is crucial. Orthogramic allows developers to link their technical documentation to the broader business architecture, making it easier for other teams to access relevant information, review dependencies, and avoid duplication.

• Benefit: Enhances collaboration across Agile teams and accelerates knowledge sharing, reducing bottlenecks and enhancing transparency.

Integration with agile tools
Orthogramic integrates seamlessly with popular Agile tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence), allowing developers to track progress and manage their work directly within the existing Agile frameworks.

• Benefit: Developers can stay within their Agile workflow while gaining the additional benefits of business architecture alignment and regulatory compliance feedback from Orthogramic.

Technical debt management
As developers refine code or work on new features, Orthogramic provides guidance on managing technical debt by aligning code decisions with long-term architectural goals. This ensures that refactoring, optimization, or new feature development is in line with the evolving system architecture.

• Benefit: Reduces technical debt and keeps the architecture clean and aligned with business priorities, enhancing long-term maintainability.
