Extreme Programming and Software Development Platform for Government

Rise8 is an elite software development firm for critical missions. We deliver a tomorrow where fewer bad things happen because of bad software, contributing to a future where the people we serve benefit from critical outcomes that impact their lives every day. Whether on the battlefield or the operating table, on a cross-country flight or the crosstown expressway, we can deliver in their hour of need and create outcomes in GovTech measured in lives saved, disasters averted, patients receiving care, and Service Members returning home.

In an increasingly digital world, software quickly becomes the primary constraint and impacts the ability to connect innovation with strategic impacts. Global optimization requires continuous delivery of software outcomes in production - the ability to get features, configuration changes, bug fixes, and experiments into production safely and quickly in a sustainable way. Production is not an arbitrary designation, it is the setting where end users put software in operation for its intended uses.

Rise8’s approach creates repeatable processes for software innovation delivery, builds durable relationships with industry and academia, provides technical enablement to capability providers, and drives alignment between senior leadership initiatives and tactical capability development. We drive relentless progress with rapid experimentation, risk reduction, continuous delivery, and a customer-centered approach, resulting in software that changes human behavior in weeks or months, not years.

We believe humans learn best by doing, specifically shipping real outcomes in production. In every engagement, we bring balanced teams of Product, Design, and Engineering, accounting for mission, users, and architecture, to not only build and deploy exceptional products, but also build a team prepared to overcome organizational challenges, learn on the fly, and move at the speed the people depending on you demand. Through pairing, we ensure capabilities get into the hands of the people we serve, gain user adoption, and scale across the enterprise.
