Agile Practices Forged Through Experience
Product Owner Selection and Mentoring
Choosing the right product owner for a project can be the difference between success and failure.
Apex can help with selection, mentoring and even providing a surrogate product owner to get your project off to the right start.
Effective User Stories
Learning to write effective user stories is vitally important to the success of agile projects.
We’ll teach your team the art and science of writing good user stories.
Master the Scrum
Once the agile delivery train starts rolling, the Scrum Master keeps it on schedule.
Our scrum masters come with years of experience and will help your team groove the weekly rituals of Agile like backlog grooming, playbacks and retrospectives.
Stakeholder Focused Playbacks
Iterations start and end with the stakeholders. Playbacks demonstrate new functionality and feedback gathered goes into the next iteration.
We'll help your team establish a Playback habit to keep everyone in the loop.
De-Risk Development and Focus on Delivery
Agile teams can only deliver week-in, week-out when invention and discovery is minimized inside the iterations.
Our methodology establishes a proof of concept team to handle research and discovery before user stories are loaded onto the agile train.
Continuous Learning and Improvement
If you’re not doing retrospectives, you’re not doing agile.
Agile is all about learning by doing, and applying lessons learned to the next iteration.

Apex Designer: New Applications, Features, Libraries and Patterns
Building a platform like Apex Designer is like climbing a mountain - progress with each step seems impossibly small, but occasionally you pause and look back to see you have come a surprisingly long way. Consider this post a retrospective of the highlights of the past ~12 months.
Moving off a Mainframe with BAW Instance Migration
Apex proposed an "Instance Migration" approach. This uses a tool that reads process instance data from a legacy environment and re-creates the legacy process instance in a new target environment without the need for any direct database migration.
