Have a custom software project in your mind?
Software Development Process
The software development methodology is essential for the whole project success as it defines project stages, activities and management tools. Yet, the methodology picked for one project may not be applicable in another case. It is important to consider and select the most suitable one out of a variety of different software development approaches.
Our Methodologies
Scrum
- This methodology is the right choice for those customers who have only a general idea of the software they want to have and would rather prefer flexible project management.
- The scope of work is divided into sprints – iterations over certain time frames.
- Project details are clarified within each iteration.
- Each iteration delivers a piece of fully workable software.
- Scrum is one of the most popular frameworks for implementing agile development.
Waterfall
- Customers who know exactly what they want can benefit from the Waterfall methodology, providing developers with the exact requirements and other data before the project starts.
- Such projects involve business and system specifications usage from the very start.
- Each project is divided into phases that do not overlap – each phase starts when the previous one is completed.
- The budget is also determined from the very start – customers have no unexpected expenses.
Agile-Waterfall Hybrid
- This powerful mix of methodologies is suitable for a project with a few of requirements specified (for example, only functional ones), while the rest of requirements need elaboration in the course of the project.
