How we do it -- our approach

ThoughtWorks is well-known as a leader in the field of Agile methods. We evolve our practices constantly and mold them to our client environments and teams. The way we work is based on collaboration and communication. We work fast, with constant testing and feedback loops to ensure that the software works and does the job you need it to. The focus is always on delivering business value to our clients, and working, usable, software to the users.

In this section you can read more about Agile projects, scaling Agile practices for the enterprise, and Distributed Agile as well as some of the specific techniques our projects are formed around, like requirements gathering and usability.

Our practices are just one facet of the culture and values of ThoughtWorks, a culture which makes us a destination employer for the world's best software professionals. Our founder, Roy Singham, created ThoughtWorks to be a home for the best and most passionate knowledge workers in the world, by building a company that embraces challenges and constantly strives to improve. Our mission is to transform the way software is delivered, taking advantage of the latest technologies and optimising the value being delivered to the business.

On the ground, we bring our passion, integrity and innovation to each of our client projects. Whether it is applying the best techniques or bringing the latest thinking on process or architecture, all our projects are unmistakably ThoughtWorks' engagements.
