How our Agile Teams Work with Clients

Agile is an effective software development method used by many of the leading companies. The values of Agile methodology include individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change. The “inspect and adapt” approach helps development teams respond to changes, reduce development costs, increase productivity, and accelerate time to market. So it really can contribute to project success and help development teams respond to unpredictability.  

How our Agile Teams work with clients

We provide clients with experienced teams of honest, transparent, and responsive Agile developers. By following the Agile process, our development teams work as if they are in the same room as the client—even if they are on the other side of the world.

Offshore means distributed development. Teams at our Offshore Development Centers (ODC) communicate daily with clients via IM, voice calls, and video conferences. Communication and transparency with our clients strengthens the trust in our relationship.

Scrum

Our Agile teams use Scrum because it is a simplified framework for effective collaboration on complex projects.

At the start of each project, the client describes their product vision and puts all user stories in the product backlog. Team members get together at the start of each sprint—for the sprint planning meeting—to determine what work will be done in the sprint and how it will be accomplished.

After determining the sprint backlog, the team starts to work. Daily Scrum meetings are held to track progress and each developer answers three questions:

• What have they accomplished since the last daily Scrum?
• What do they plan to accomplish from now until the next daily Scrum?
• What (if anything) is delaying their progress?

Each Sprint ends with a retrospective meeting, where the team summarizes what went well and what did not in the current sprint. This is also an opportunity to share suggestions for improvement during the next sprint. We also have a demo meeting to the client show what has been finished in the Sprint and so they can provide feedback.

Agile Developer Mindset

Our Agile developers believe that the final product should be high-quality, efficient, and delivered on time, and within the client's budget. It's not just the required functionality that matters, but also a great user experience. It's not only about the beautiful look on the outside, but also the clean code on the inside. The quality is built-in.
