Simulation Details:
Innovatech is a mid-sized software development company known for delivering custom software solutions in healthcare, finance, and logistics. They use a robust technical stack, including Java for backend development, Python for data analysis, React for dynamic user interfaces, and Docker for containerization. Innovatech's reputation is built on high-quality deliverables and timely project completions. However, they have recently faced challenges in optimizing workflow efficiency, leading to project delays and decreased customer satisfaction. To maintain their competitive edge, Innovatech is exploring the adoption of an agile workflow to enhance efficiency, improve team collaboration, and increase customer satisfaction.
Your main challenge is to convince two senior developers, Mark and Sarah, to adopt a new agile workflow. Mark is direct and analytical, concerned about missed deadlines and integration issues. He needs logical, data-driven arguments. Sarah is thoughtful and detail-oriented, worried about the learning curve and code quality. She needs thorough explanations and assurances. You must provide concrete examples and metrics to demonstrate the benefits of the agile workflow and persuade them to trial it for two weeks.
