In a recent interview, our CEO, Ivan Gekht, shared his experience and knowledge about TRIZ (Theory of Inventive Problem Solving) and how it helps Gehtsoft tackle complex challenges and create cutting-edge software solutions.

TRIZ: A Systematic Approach to Innovation

Ivan emphasized that integrating TRIZ principles into the development process allows teams to systematically analyze problems, identify contradictions, and find effective solutions. This structured approach fosters innovation and helps avoid traditional trial-and-error methods.

In software development, where constant adaptation and evolution are crucial, TRIZ provides a framework for problem-solving that enhances efficiency, creativity, and technical excellence.

At Gehtsoft, we leverage TRIZ methodology to drive creative thinking and improve product quality, ensuring that we meet and exceed our clients’ expectations. By addressing technical and business challenges with a structured and scientific approach, we create more effective and scalable solutions.

Innovation as a Core Principle

Innovation has always been at the heart of Gehtsoft’s work, and TRIZ has become an essential tool in our problem-solving arsenal. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to applying the most effective methodologies to enhance our work and deliver value to our partners.

What could be the long-term impact of AI on career progression in knowledge work? I saw a post recently asking whether AI will replace junior Scrum Masters. That question itself is not new. But it triggered a realization I had not connected this way before. And it is not very

Code Is No Longer the Bottleneck. Now What?

An advantage that everyone has is not an advantage. Agentic tools handle boilerplate, tests, and even non-trivial features. If your bottleneck was implementation speed, it's gone. Yet Amdahl's Law still applies: the speedup you get from accelerating one part is limited by the parts that don&
