InnerWorkings began with a vision of transforming the way companies build and release software. Our research indicated that many companies viewed application development as a ‘dark art’. Despite decades of effort to create processes and best practices, software organizations had little visibility into why one project was a great success while a similar project failed miserably. Why was the software industry so inscrutable? At InnerWorkings, our mission is to help our customers build great software organizations. We believe that it is possible to create a successful, efficient, and cost-effective software organization and sustain it over multiple projects. How do we do this? By providing software executives with an integrated platform to improve learning, collaboration, and software processes across your development teams.
