The standardized software development methodology, employed at Agile Mind Software, helps us provide very cost-effective and efficient business solutions. The following would give a better understanding of it:
PHASE 1- REQUIREMENTS GATHERINGOur consultants conduct Joint Requirement Gathering sessions with the client. These are brainstorming sessions that help determine the business objectives and marketing goals. Prototype storyboards or screen layouts are used for role-playing.
PHASE 2 -TECHNICAL ARCHITECTUREOur Technical architects advise the client on options available to him with respect to architectural approaches and technology solutions for project implementation.
PHASE 3 - CONFIRMATIONBased on the architecture and technology chosen, the development team of programmers, graphic designers and project managers draft a development plan for the project with cost and time estimates. As a part of this process the prototype development may occur.
PHASE 4 -INCREMENTAL DEVELOPMENTThis is the stage where the project is actually off the ground. Agile Mind Software builds the application in progressive phases or increments. Incremental delivery permits experimentation of complex solutions during the course of development. This approach facilitates modifications through hands-on exposure to the delivered increment. We use daily builds and continuous integration tools. We do weekly / bi-weekly / monthly deliveries based on agreement with customer.
PHASE 5 -INSTALLATION and TRAININGOnce the system is installed on the production servers, comprehensive training is extended to the client's IT/ MIS personnel; not only to administer and maintain it, but also to understand the underlying technology and development tools if required. The end-users are trained to use the application effectively. Follow-up action in terms of close monitoring of the system and applications ensures immediate response to issues.
This development process allows us to guarantee:
- On-time completion of the project
- Delivery of a high-quality system meeting your business requirements
- Development of a flexible, easy to use and modify (in case you need some enhancements in future) system
Along with this methodology, we practice the following standard software development methodologies and practices:
- MSF
- XP Programming
- Test driven Development
- Design Patterns
- UML
