This is the professional web page of Matthew Heusser. I develop software and write and speak on systems improvement. I also moderate SW-IMPROVE, a free discussion group for improving the way we develop software, and run Creative Chaos, my blog.

        About Excelon -
        I concentrate on four types of systems improvement:

        1) Reducing Cycle Times
                        Developing Faster
                        "Build the thing right"

        2) Improving Quality
                        Through better understanding customer needs,
                        Better testing, and
                        Software craftmanship

        3) Software Strategy
                        "Build the right thing"

        4) Personal and Career Growth
                        Personal improvement as opposed to process
                        Recognizing and helping other sound craftsmen
