Elevator Pitch
Most software lives longer than planned, and every year changes get slower and riskier. aim42 helps you improve such systems systematically: find the issues that hurt most, estimate what they cost, and fix them in the order that pays off.
The method reference describes 67 proven practices and patterns in detail, from stakeholder interviews to the strangler approach, and names 37 more that still need writing. aim42 is free to use under the Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0 license.
Overview
aim42 works in three phases, analyze, evaluate and improve, repeated in short iterations; cross-cutting practices keep the work on track. Each part of the cycle leads to its phase.
