Enables higher-quality systems delivered at radically lower cost. Recognized by Constellation Research for changing the economics of enterprise software delivery.

Our assessment: Branded reference guide featured in nav; medium substantiveness as it appears to be a glossary/explainer tool rather than a delivery methodology.

Our assessment: Named publication in nav with a short descriptor only — low substantiveness based on the information available.
