Doing software development differently
Software development is complicated enough without mountains of jargon-heavy documentation
and bureaucratic processes. You know the problems your business faces. We understand
the technology and how it can help. Why let anything else stand in the way of creating
superb software for your organisation?
How we create great software for you
We follow an agile software development process that cuts flab from the traditional
way of doing things. This lets us show results faster and cuts costs – because we
don’t bother with unnecessary faffing and bureaucracy. We just get things done.
Here’s how:
- We think about the problem. Every piece of software we create is designed to solve a problem of some sort. So once we’ve spoken to you, we brainstorm in a small team.
- We gather your requirements. Although we don’t believe in creating requirements documents that run to hundreds of pages, we do need to understand and document what the software should do.
- We talk to the people who matter. That’s you, and the other people in your business who’ll be using the software. We really have to understand where you’re coming from.
- We make the ‘how’ as important as the ‘what’. In short: we put as much effort into making sure our software is easy to use as making sure it does exactly what it needs to.
- We prioritise everything. So we can work in a structured, focused manner, we prioritise every requirement, then tackle them in order. It means you get the most important functions first.
- We deliver to a fixed schedule. In our eyes, ‘as long as it takes’ isn’t an acceptable deadline. We set aggressive, achievable timescales, then roll extra features into subsequent releases.
What happens after that?
Our approach is totally focused on delivering the most important features in a reliable piece of software, quickly. Because we develop everything in-house, in a small team, we can work fast.
We see software development as an ongoing process. So after the initial release of your software, any improvements, extra features or other changes will be included in subsequent releases. All our experience shows that the best way to improve software is to take incremental steps, rather than waiting months each time.
