Scouting for Growth

Michele Cimmino: A Dive Into Agile Transformation


Listen Later

Sabine talks to Michele Cimmino, CEO of Lasting Dynamics, which, far from being a generic software firm, epitomises precision and coding tailored to partners' distinct needs to ensure an exclusive synergy for mutual growth.

Michael discusses visionary leadership at Lasting Dynamics, championing quality and innovation, ensuring diverse tech mastery, and building a global force in the startup ecosystem.

  • KEY TAKEAWAYS
  • Lasting Dynamics was founded in 2013 to deliver quality to the IT market.
  • Large enterprises usually target a span of 12 months to deliver an MVP (minimum viable product), but by the time an MVP is delivered to market in 12 months, it’s already too late.
  • When you have engineers who truly understand cybersecurity, it's easier to comply with policies.
  • When you build something from the ground up or start integrating components into a digital product with a forward-looking mindset, you will not waste months on additional testing. This is an engineering mindset called “bottom-up”.
  • BEST MOMENTS

    ‘Quality assurance is also about analysing the requirements; it’s not only about executing some tests, but it’s also about understanding what will be needed and how this can be provided.’
    ‘The most important part of the game is to be transparent and loyal to your partner or customer. That always pays back.’
    ‘I like the idea that the most important goal and value for everyone on a project should be the final result of the product, and everyone should sacrifice a bit of personal interest towards that goal.’

    ABOUT THE GUEST

    In the dynamic world of software engineering, few names resonate as powerfully as Michele Cimmino. As a master of full-stack web and mobile development, Michele's leadership at Lasting Dynamics has carved a niche in the tech spaces of Spain, Italy, and Norway. Dive deeper at Lasting Dynamics, and you'll discover a hub where innovation meets commitment.

    A champion of quality, Michele's passion drives him and his adept team to consistently re-evaluate and refine their methodologies. They are agile, experimental, and always ahead of the curve, drawing insights from the latest in automation, innovation, and QA processes. His current explorations into Agile, OKRs, SCRUM, TDD, and the principles of Shu Ha Ri demonstrate a ceaseless thirst for knowledge.

    Lasting Dynamics, Michele's brainchild, isn't just any software company; it's a boutique that meticulously crafts code to fit partners' unique needs. This exclusivity ensures mutual growth, as they partner with only a select few each year.

    But there's more: The Academy, another feather in Michele’s cap, streamlines the onboarding process, a testament to his visionary approach. Moreover, under his guidance, the launch of SaaS platforms like Roundrush for workflow management and VetrinaLive for e-commerce adds to his impressive portfolio.

    With a tech stack that's as expansive as it is impressive, ranging from Node.js to Python, React to Vue.js, and PostgreSQL to AWS integrations, Michele's proficiency is unquestionable. He's been at the helm of AI-driven mobile apps since 2015, dabbled in blockchain and cryptocurrency from 2017, and, since 2019, has steered Lasting Dynamics towards Growth Hacking.
