Agile: A smarter way to develop your project
The trouble with traditional software development
Traditionally software companies follow what's called the "Waterfall model." Here's what it looks like.
It's a highly structured process where you make your way down through the various stages. The problem is— you can't go back up!
That might not matter, except it's pretty much impossible to accurately define all your requirements before you begin. What you first thought you (or the end-user) wanted is almost never what you really want by the end of the project. You need the flexibility to make changes as you progress.
Why Agile Development is a better approach
The key difference of Agile Development is that it's a cyclical rather than a linear process. Over the course of a project you go through many cycles (we call them "iterations"). In each iteration you get to experience that release, provide input for the next iteration, and prioritize how your precious development dollars will be spent.
Short development cycles
Our iterative development process means there are no "ta-da!" moments. We'll continually show you how we're progressing throughout your project. You'll know what's going on from the beginning to the end, and provide feedback on each cycle.
Testing each iteration
As each iteration includes new features to your project, we implement automated tests to make sure they work right. This way we squash more bugs and have greater confidence the next time we change or add features.
How you benefit from this approach
- No surprises! We agree on what's to be built
- You see daily progress and have regular input
- Your money is spent where it's most needed
- Your solution is delivered at a level of quality we can prove
- Fewer bugs & greater confidence when adding new features
