Development Process in Methodology:

Our Approach is Agile Methodology:

We break down the whole application/software into pieces (modules) and then we set the milestone
of each module and set the stop in the SDLC process. After finishing each module we take the
approval/feedback from our clients (Business User - Project Manager). At each SDLC phase we also
discuss with client QA Manager/Business User Project manager for work appraisals and approvals.
Why do we use Agile?
Agile development methodology provides opportunities to assess the direction of a project throughout
the development lifecycle. This is achieved through regular cadences of work, known as sprints or
iterations, at the end of which teams must present a potentially shippable product increment. In an
agile paradigm, every aspect of development requirements, design, etc. is continually revisited
throughout the lifecycle. When a team stops and re-evaluates the direction of a project every two
weeks, theres always time to steer it in another direction.
The results of this inspect-and-adapt approach to development greatly reduce both development
costs and time to market. Because teams can develop software at the same time theyre gathering
requirements, the phenomenon known as analysis paralysis is less likely to impede a team from
making progress. And because a teams work cycle is limited to two weeks, it gives stakeholders
recurring opportunities to calibrate releases for success in the real world.

Methodology

Successful software development methodologies are adaptable and require customization from project
to project. We have the expertise needed to correctly determine which activities and artifacts make
sense to use for a specific project, resulting in expedited success and minimized costs for our clients.
We utilize different methodologies of software development according to the specific of the customer,
industry and project, based on proven best practices.
Rational Unified Process (RUP):
During the development process, activities are performed throughout multiple iterations. These
iterations continue as the project evolves through four phases of development:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Inception
Elaboration
Construction
Transition

Fundamental concepts:
In order to ensure an effective integration of the offshore services we make sure that some very
important concepts are defined:

Robust processes:
Define KPIs, methodologies, the quality parameters to adhere to with highly skilled
professionals to execute projects.

Vision and strategy:

Follow a focused vision and a goal driven strategy that are firmly in place

Structures:
Roles and responsibilities of customer and delivery parties

Communication plan:
Agree to reporting requirements using communication technologies to ease the informations
exchange between delivery teams, customers and executive management.
