Software Development Methodologies We Employ
Popular choice
AGILE: The iterative approach with an emphasis on collaboration and continuous improvement. Software is developed in small portions and new features are delivered on a regular basis.
Specific cases
Software development is done in Sprints, 2-3-week iterations with identified granular goals and backlogs. The following practices are common: sprint planning meeting, daily stand-ups, sprint review (and demo), retrospective, backlog refinement (grooming).
The work is done in very short Sprints, often daily. Daily (or once in 2 days) meetings are held to discuss progress and priorities. The team uses the Kanban Board that provides a clear representation of all project activities, responsible persons, and progress.
LINEAR: The sequential approach in which the next chunk of work is done when the previous one is finished and approved by the stakeholders.
Note: For many projects it makes sense to use a combination of approaches or switch from one to another depending on the project stage. In our practice, the most common scenarios are ‘Waterfall -> Scrum’, ‘Scrum -> Kanban -> Scrum’. Since switching to a new methodology entails new tools and new processes, a pre-switch intro meeting or mini-training should be conducted by the vendor to keep the project running effectively from day one.
How We Ensure Quality
Quality controls
At each stage of the development starting as early as functional requirement definition and architecture design. Quality management system certified by ISO 9001.
All types of testing
functional, integration, performance, usability, security; in-house center of excellence for software testing services.
