Arcturus Mentoring

Software engineering is both an art and a science.  What it isn’t is code-monkeying, by the lowest cost developers.

Drawing on nearly four decades of software engineering management experience, earned in both fast-moving, start up companies and large, market-leading, technology-driven corporations, Arcturus Mentoring’s mission is to make software projects deliver the best results, with the least pain.

Creating great software should not be miserable for anybody.

Sponsors of software development should be able to attract and retain the most brilliant software engineers and receive a product of the highest quality, highest performance, with the most extensibility, reliability and lowest cost of maintainability.

The engineers should feel happy, engaged, creative, innovative, empowered and capable of delivering precision-engineered products, constructed using best-practice processes, full of features, with outstanding quality, on time and to a realistic budget.

The software product should surprise and delight customers with superior user experiences, massive utility, fluid usability, innovative and novel capabilities and low total cost of ownership, making the software a pleasure to own and a joy to support.

It’s not easy to achieve all of these goals, but Arcturus Mentoring helps your company achieve the best software development outcomes, ensuring that all goals are met.

Sometimes, you need:

• Sound, independent advice
• Coaching and encouragement
• The voice of experience
• Someone to use as a sounding board
• Insights from a different perspective

It all starts with having the most effective thinking, attitudes and ideas.
