Product design and software engineering delivered by cross-functional teams
Thoughtworks began in Chicago in 1993 and now works across 18 countries. For Sparta Systems, a quality management software company, it helped turn Sparta's quality management expertise into a new multi-tenant SaaS product for small and medium-sized companies, on a 12-month deadline, with a simplified interface. In the first months, Sparta's developers worked from Thoughtworks' New York office to pick up agile practices, and the new way of working has technologists collaborating directly with product owners and users. For the literacy app Learn with Homer, Thoughtworks helped bring characters and illustrations into a gamified learning product and tested it closely with children and parents.
