About InnerWorkings
InnerWorkings began with a vision of transforming the way software developers learn. Software development is still art as much as science. In spite of decades of effort to create processes and best practices, there is little visibility into why one project is a great success while a similar project fails. It remains extremely difficult to create a successful, efficient and cost-effective software organization and sustain it over multiple projects.
