The adesso Development Tandem - adt for short - is a personnel development programme based on the proven principles of the Effectuation approach and offers the opportunity to explore and shape your own career options. We took part in adt 2024 and would like to tell you more about it.

This blog post takes a look at the role of the Project Management Office (PMO) within the IT services industry and dispels some preconceptions. This blog post also shows the potential of the role and how it can be utilised decisively.

Volunteering is an important pillar of our society. As we see it, volunteering cultivates skills that can also come in handy in software development and IT consulting. Especially in the context of agile approaches and frameworks, you can develop a variety of soft skills by doing volunteer work that can also be put to use in your everyday work. We will describe these in our blog post.

In my blog post, I discuss two approaches to dealing with IT security requirements: traditional requirements engineering for end-to-end documentation and an iterative approach that speeds up IT security integration by carrying out risk assessments early on in the process. Addressing the requirements in an early phase and continuous improvement are prioritised over full and immediate integration. Using suitable tools and continuous monitoring minimise the risks prior to implementation.

Unlock Your Full Potential is the name of the adesso Group’s talent management programme. The aim of the programme is to help you become aware of your strengths, build on your personal brand and learn how to get the most out of both. I was one of 42 adesso employees who took part in the first round of the programme. In this blog post, I will take you on my personal journey through this programme.

WOL will revolutionise the way we work and collaborate in the future. Rather by chance, I came across a course called ‘Working Out Loud (WOL)’ on the adesso eCampus, which really excited me and still does today. In my blog post, I will present the WOL method in greater detail and demonstrate the concrete benefits for employees and companies.

Dogs are man’s best friend. This applies just as well at home as at the workplace as demonstrated by adesso, which has dog-friendly policies at many of its offices across Germany. In this blog post, I will present the advantages and challenges of having a four-legged friend as the newest member of the team who you can spend time with between project meetings or when you are off on a coffee break.

The transition from parental leave back to work is a challenging time for many young mothers. When you are a few months out from making your planned return to full-time work, there are a few concerns that go through your mind. In my blog post, I will be describing my experience when I re-joined adesso in a full-time role after seven months on parental leave.
