Agile Development Process

The standard software outsourcing process is a black box. Once the work begins, you have no control over what happens, there is no learning curve and you rarely see results until it is already too late to make any adjustments.

Our Clear-Box Software Outsourcing methodology is based on a distributed agile development process. It maintains its leanness and agility by maintaining clear communications, vertical development and setting frequent milestones and short development cycles.

Clear communications

Our onsite and offshore teams have years of experience collaborating on software development projects. They utilize an array of tools and techniques to facilitate communication and collaboration between the customer site and the offshore development center.

These include our:

Project Management Server, including a set of Agile/Scrum reports that let you track your project’s progress at any time in the development process: planning game summary, burn down charts, standup meetings summary and more
Web-based Project Lifecycle Management software (PLM)
Web-based Application Lifecycle Management software (ALM)
Wiki System
Web Conferencing System
Video & Audio Conferencing
Instant Messaging

Vertical Development

Rather than developing segments of your projects horizontally and only combining them at the end, we divide them into vertical packets and develop those packets one after another so you can actually see your software emerge screen-by-screen.

Frequent Milestones

By setting frequent milestones and short development cycles, we ensure you that your project is always on-track. We deliver working sections of your software several times within a release so you can see and measure progress. During a development iteration we provide graphical burn down charts that allow you to measure our performance - planned vs. actual.

This process also provides several development windows, at the end of each development cycle and before commencing a new cycle, so integrating changes and adjustments becomes a natural part of the development process.
