Software Development Methodologies
Having successfully completed many projects, we can help you find the best approach for your software development and build a strong team to deliver the results you want.
The Agile approach centers around a continuously evolving project scope and iterative development where the team delivers a work product — a new feature or meaningful improvement — at the end of every iteration. This approach allows you to start quickly and make decisions in action based on instant feedback.
Agile is your go-to methodology when
Evolving Vision
Your end-product vision will likely change during development.
Complex Requirements:
Detailing all requirements at the start is challenging due to project complexity.
User Feedback:
Success depends heavily on gathering and incorporating user feedback.
Rapid Development:
Start development immediately to bring your product to market quickly.
In the Waterfall model, the entire project—phases, tasks, and dependencies—is mapped out in advance. This approach involves detailed planning and documentation of processes, timelines, deliverables, resources, and costs from the start. While flexibility is limited, it provides a high level of predictability.
The Waterfall methodology is ideal when:
Clear Vision and Stable Requirements
The end vision and stakeholder requirements are well-defined and unlikely to change
Well-Defined Project Requirements
All project requirements can be specified upfront
Multiple External Integrations
The product will require multiple integrations with external systems during development
Strict Tracking & Documentation
Strict project tracking or extensive documentation is required
Our Engagement Models
To identify the ideal engagement model for each client, we carefully consider essential factors—such as their core business goals, project scope, and desired level of flexibility and control. Our goal is to craft a solution that achieves the perfect balance of cost efficiency, performance, and adaptability.
Time & Materials
With the Time & Materials model, we develop your software product either in a sequential flow or incrementally, maintaining close communication throughout. You pay only for the actual work completed, based on daily or hourly rates per specialist.
Evolving Vision
An adaptable project approach where the end-product vision can shift over time, allowing for adjustments based on new insights or market trends.
Complex Requirements
When a project’s needs are intricate and challenging to fully define upfront, requiring flexibility to address emerging details as development progresses.
User Feedback
A process of gathering input from users to refine and enhance the product, ensuring it meets real-world needs and preferences.
Rapid Development
A streamlined approach that focuses on launching quickly by minimising initial planning and delivering product features in short, iterative cycles.
Fixed Price Model
In this model, we develop your software product for a set price agreed upon at the project’s start, with thorough planning and scope estimation completed before development begins:
Clear Scope:
Ideal for projects with a well-defined scope and stable requirements, ensuring clarity on deliverables and the end product.
Minimal Involvement Post-Planning
Requires minimal client involvement after the initial planning and requirements-gathering phase.
Clear Planning & Scope
Start with detailed requirements and clear timelines, establishing timelines and deliverables.
Fixed Budget & Change Control
Development follows a fixed budget, With progress updates; any changes require formal change requests and contract adjustments.
Dedicated Team
With this model, you can either bring in our skilled engineers to fill specific skill gaps
or choose a fully dedicated, self-managed team. Our professionals integrate smoothly with
your environment, offering fresh perspectives and delivering high-quality results with the
commitment of in-house staff.
This model works well when you need extra engineering talent or full-cycle support, from
development to maintenance:
Trial Period for Each Specialist
A 30-day trial is available for each specialist, allowing you to assess fit and performance
Full Control Over Team and Budget
You maintain full control over the team, budget, and project flow.
Fixed Monthly Rate
We set a monthly rate per specialist or team at the project’s start.
Flexible Team Adjustments
Team members can be replaced based on your feedback or updated needs.
