Agile Development
We understand that markets can change overnight and tomorrow’s business requirements may be uncertain. That’s why we use Agile project management methods (Scrum) to quickly deliver a “minimum viable product” based on a client’s initial requirements. The prototype product is then given to the end users early in the project lifecycle, generating valuable feedback to guide the software development process further. This short “discover-design-develop-deploy-feedback” cycle is repeated over fixed durations of time, normally two weeks, to ensure new system features are added based on real-world user needs.
Using Scrum allows us to focus on users and business value. This results in greater transparency, faster implementation, predictable delivery, predictable implementation costs and improved quality. Tailor-made end products meeting all the requirements without wasting effort or missing the intended goal.
