Accelerators

This accelerator helps teams jumpstart any legacy project in its move to microservices. The accelerator allows us to introspect an existing relational database and create microservices stubs for a set of interconnected microservices with getters, setters, and hooks for further expansion. The microservices are written using cloud-native patterns and can help a legacy project move to a microservices implementation in the cloud in a matter of weeks instead of months or years. 

This accelerator helps jumpstart our new Agile teams in initiating a new Agile project. For these projects, a wizard helps the Team Lead or Scrum Master begin a project with pre-defined tasks, tickets, and epics, including setup tasks, documentation tasks, and security tasks related to getting an Authority to Operate (ATO). The accelerator is integrated into Jira but additional generators for Rally are being built. Scrum, Kanban, and SAFe (Scaled Agile) agile methodologies are supported. Automated reports are set up using APIs to initiate the task of metrics reporting and viewing project health. This accelerator is especially useful in setting up agile projects for federal agencies and resulted from the knowledge we gained through our collaboration with GAO on reviewing the GAO’s Agile Audit guide, the definitive reference for evaluating federal agile projects.
