Agile Software Development
Affinity Bridge uses a development method called Agile Software Development. How is this different? It's a fundamental change in what we, as developers, value most.
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
What does this mean to you as our client? Our commitment to the agile process means that we will do whatever we can to stay on our toes, and accommodate your organization's needs throughout the lifespan of the project. Rather than becoming attached to a set-in-stone plan and process, we will be flexible and look for innovative ways to problem solve and manage requirements as they arise. We will put our energy into working smart, and delivering high quality work that has been tested thoroughly, and is adaptable to your future needs.
As our client, you will be an integral part of the development process, collaborating on the trajectory of the project and on day to day choices about functionality. This also means that you are kept up to date on how the project is progressing, and therefore have the ability to make decisions on priorities before the project is completed. By choosing to work with us, you are committing to a team who is not going to cut corners to save minutes in early stages of development only to spend days or weeks making up for it later on. We will deliver high quality work and future-proof our code at each step of the process.
What does agile development look like? Shorter, more focused development iterations, usually between 2 and 4 weeks in length, at the end of which new working software can be tested and deployed. Daily check-ins and weekly or bi-weekly updates, so you know where the project is at, and where it's going. The ability to weigh-in on decisions during the development process, so there are no surprises when the work is complete. A more flexible process, that can accommodate changing requirements as the project progresses. Certainty over the status of the project, and over our ability to deliver a product that we can both stand behind. That is what we value, and what we are committed to working towards.
