Summary

Integrity Systems Company (ISC) is looking forward to 2025 to ensure that they can continue to use technology, people and processes to support an effective, comprehensive and easy to use suite of products - the backbone of Australia’s red meat integrity system. In conjunction with the recent restructure, the ISC Technology Team now needs to evaluate its current internal software development ways of working, including capabilities, processes, and tools against the delivery of value to their customers.

Objectives

1. Building standards and best practices (play book).
2. Configuring the tools and set up documentation templates and structure.
3. Building delivery framework for product and platform stability (play book).

Key findings

This work has allowed for a greater bridge between business and technology teams to build better software for our stakeholders.

Benefits to industry

This evaluation will reveal the gaps between the current state and what is needed to support ISC’s continually evolving strategic goals. As a capability uplift program, this project will allow the team to move to a formal and unified end-to-end continuous IT product development and improvement platform starting from capturing and managing high-level requirements/features, solution design, build/development, test management/automation and release management.

MLA action

Capability improvement for both internal technology software delivery teams and ensuring external vendors are building to MLA standards

Future research

Future research will be to embed the learnings of this project into annual training and staff development plans.
