Agile Development Approach

We have come to value :
 

Individuals and interactions over processes and tools

Working software over comprehensive documentation

Customer collaboration over contract negotiation

Responding to change over following a plan


That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.

 


The ability to respond to change, within budget, is paramount in our development process - every project must be a "win-win" with the customer.

 

Our Principles
 

  • Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.
     
  • Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.
     
  • Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a
    preference to the shorter timescale.
     
  • Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
     
  • The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation.
     
  • Working software is the primary measure of progress.
     
  • Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
     
  • Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential.
