Capability Centric Design
Business Centric Development
• Focus on Business Capabilities
• Entire team is aligned towards
Business Capability.
• From Specs to Operations – The
team handles the entire spectrum
of Software development.
• Every vertical will have its own
Code Pipeline
Front-End-Team Back-End-Team Database-Team
In a typical Monolithic way, the team is
divided based on technology / skill set
rather than business functions. This leads
to not only bottlenecks but also lack of
understanding of the Business Domain.

Shift Left – CI/CD/CD
• Operations Concerns move earlier in software delivery life cycle, towards development.
• The Goal is to enable Developers and QC Team to Develop and Test the software that
behave like Production System in fully automated way.
