Customer Reviews

What our clients say

The report exceeds my expectations in terms of comprehensiveness. And thanks to a heads-up in between, there were no surprises for the organization either. The project went fast, and was conducted in a very professional and realistic way, with very high quality.

This study really helped us to understand the team performance of one of our agile teams as well as the quality of the application they develop and maintain. We got very important insights, and the results are really valuable for our decision making process.

★★★★★ Process Maturity Assessment

★★★★★ - Agile Team Benchmark

* The reviews shown are genuine testimonials from my previous role. As AgileBenchmark is a new company, it has no independent reviews yet.

★★★★★ - Software Cost Estimation

We needed to understand the overall cost of a major software development project to assign a realistic budget and to communicate to the stakeholders. The fact-based software cost estimation report was well substantiated and used objective sizing, relevant historical data as well as state-of-the-art parametric models to create a landing zone (minimum, likely and maximum scenario) regarding effort, cost and duration. This really helped us to set expectations and manage the project.

★★★★★ - Agile Team Benchmark

Our customer, a large auction in the Netherlands, had doubts regarding the productivity of our agile teams and the quality they provided. The benchmark of two teams showed that productivity, cost efficiency, delivery speed, process quality and product quality were in range with expectations, based on international standards and data. Therefore, we had a good story towards our customer, and all stakeholders involved were reassured that team performance was as well as could be expected.
