Agile software development is a process where both requirements and solutions are identified iteratively throughout the development process, by the development team, stakeholders and end-users together as a cross-functional team.
At Si Novi we've been proponents of agile processes for many years, incorporating agile methodologies into our software development work with our clients. We've seen how agile processes can de-risk development and produce better results.
Our process is determined by the needs of the project in question, but generally we'll move through phases such as:
Agile and Scrum are frameworks for software development, not procedural guides, and as such we believe that a truly agile process is one that uses the elements of agile approaches that suit the project and the team best.
We also follow other interesting methodologies like Basecamp's Shape Up, which borrow from agile but bring new concepts that are all designed for efficiently building great software.
The right approach is the one that serves the project best, allowing all members of the development team to contribute effectively and produce great results together.
Running digital projects in an agile manner allows you to de-risk your investment.
During the project lifecycle you'll see your product come to life, initially as a basic but functional ‘minimum viable' product, then at each iteration growing in both its form and function. Rather than waiting until the end of a project for a big reveal, you have the opportunity to make changes to the direction and the chance to incorporate new ideas and new priorities.
We work with businesses as an outsourced development team, and as such we're often part of a team of other creatives, IT professionals and stakeholders in a project.
Together we can design an agile approach that's right for the project and the team working on it, whether that's a bespoke approach based on the individual team, or parachuting into your existing agile processes.
Our team includes a Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO), and we have extensive experience running and delivering agile software development projects.
