STEP 1

Acceptance Test-Driven Development

We connect you with developers, designers, and testers to effectively communicate and define specific requirements prior to implementation.

STEP 2

Agile Modeling

Our development project embraces agile development methodologies like Scrum, Lean, and Rational Unified Process by following a set of guiding principles and values.

STEP 3

Agile Testing

By prioritizing QA testing as an essential component of the development process, we minimize the occurrence of bugs and errors. Our team of testers leads the process, employing the agile method to involve all parties—from UX-UI designers to software developers.

STEP 4

Backlogs

By maintaining readily accessible to-do lists and "what's left" lists, our teams can effectively plan, track, and prioritize work throughout the iterative process. Backlogs provide transparency, enabling stakeholders to visualize progress and make informed decisions.

STEP 5

Behavior Driven Development

We systematically validate every functionality to ensure that no test cases or their defining criteria are overlooked. This process also encompasses identifying the root causes of any issues and implementing relevant fixes.

HOW DOES OUR SCRUM TEAM WORK?

Our Agile development process is broken down into sprints, typically two to four weeks long. Each sprint is focused on delivering a specific set of features or functionality. Our development team works closely with the client to prioritize the backlog of tasks and determine what will be delivered in each sprint.

During each sprint, the development team meets daily for a quick stand-up meeting to discuss progress and any roadblocks. This fosters collaboration and ensures that everyone is on the same page.

At the end of each sprint, our team delivers a working product increment that can be tested and reviewed by stakeholders. This allows for continuous feedback and improvement throughout the development process.

WHAT TECHNOLOGIES ARE USED IN AN AGILE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM?

For an agile software development team to quickly deliver good products with minimal issues, all members should have knowledge of the team's technologies. Developers need to have the most technical expertise, but others should also understand the tools to tailor their work to the dev team's. Important technologies and tools to consider include programming languages (e.g. front-end and back-end), frameworks (e.g. React, Angular), Git for tracking code changes, and an issue-tracking system (e.g. Jira, ClickUp) to manage bugs and feature requests.

WHAT ARE THE TRAITS OF AGILE-DRIVEN PROFESSIONALS?

Agile-driven professionals are adaptable, collaborative, and possess excellent communication skills. They also prioritize continuous learning and self-improvement, are outcome-focused, and have a passion for delivering quality work. These traits enable them to thrive in fast-paced environments and deliver successful outcomes for their clients.

How Agile Teams Interact With Other Departments?

Agile teams must collaborate with other departments, including those managing finances, marketing, design, and more—to ensure success before, during, and after product launch. Cross-functional teams tend to perform better, but it may not be feasible to implement agile practices in every sector. To ensure everyone is on the same page, it's essential to prioritize communication and goal-setting.

Having a project or business manager to oversee the project's progress and define clear objectives is vital. They don't need to be experts in each department's field, but they should understand each team member's responsibilities.

Setting goals that align with the team's and related departments' objectives fosters enthusiastic engagement and generates results-oriented solutions. By investing in these principles, agile teams can create a better end product.
