Traditional Code Analysis (Tools)
Reviews – Internal / External– Pros – Great improvement, learning
opportunity– Cons – Time consuming
Static Analysis – Analyzing Source Code Without Executing
– Pros – Scans entire code base– Cons – Rule based, false positives
Focus on Technical Metrics
But what is the business impact?

How will this help me?
- Rebuild or continue maintenance?- Outsource or in house?- Add team members or downsize?
- Specific skills- Personalities
- What technologies?- Will I make delivery date?- Will this satisfy my users?- Will I run over budget?

Machine Learning, Analytics, Simulation
• Deep insight into success factors like resource allocation and sprint planning
• Predictions from our AI• Minimize uncertainty
Can’t I just do this myself?
Could track it all yourself, but w/ Grip you’ll get:• Visual presentation -> improved perception• History -> trends & inflection point• Benchmarks -> compare with other efforts
