Patient Zero implements remote working as a precaution

Patient Zero • March 20, 2020

Patient Zero has implemented remote working across its Development, Consulting and Managed Services teams.


Paul Briggs, CEO of Patient Zero states “We’re actively encouraging everyone at PZ to stop the spread and stay home where possible”. Patient Zero has had requests from clients that projects continue, however, to minimise any potential risk of infection working from home has been implemented organisation-wide to ensure the safety of our staff and the wider community.


Paul says of the impact to the business “The nature of our work, our tooling and our way of working is ideally suited to work from home arrangements. In fact most of our employees have worked from home on and off since Patient Zero began. With agile, innovation and honesty among some of the core values at Patient Zero, having a significant amount of transparency in our teams is part of our DNA. This transparency gives our customers, and us confidence that our teams are performing. Based on our monitoring so far, our teams haven’t skipped a beat and are on track for all project commitments.”


Performance monitoring is paramount to the success of any organisation, and Patient Zero has strong policies and procedures in place to ensure that projects remain on track each fortnight as part of their agile delivery framework. Brendan Homann, Principal BA at Patient Zero states, “The simplest way we can assess how our teams are going is to monitor the burn down and fortnightly showcases. We’ve run plenty of these remotely over the last few years so it’s business as usual for us!”


Patient Zero plans to continue delivery on all current and future projects across its Development Teams, Consulting and Managed Services offerings. For more information contact our sales team on 1300 714 093.

At Gartner Gold Coast 2025, everything was about AI — automation, efficiency, disruption, predictions. AI, AI, AI.

Some of the things they talked about, like trust, autonomy and team culture, are the things I’ve experienced here.

GPT-5 - the highly anticipated latest version of OpenAI’s hit the streets a few weeks ago. Despite of some breathless commentary from influencers who had been given early access, the eventual release was a bit underwhelming (in a way that only something that would have seemed like science-fiction a few short years ago but now seems passe, can be). Aside from the quality of the model itself, which some people have claimed was more about lowering OpenAI’s costs than delivering a better result, there are some issues that the change to GPT-5 has introduced when integrating it into a product which we thought we should share.
