SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT FOR STARTUPS
Scrum methodology is a framework for efficiently managing and building beautiful software.
Transparency
Our clients are kept up to date with daily progress reports through our unique project set-up methodology as well as the various project ceremonies.
Collaboration
We believe in team collaboration as well as a shared vision and purpose across all stakeholders in order to guarantee continuous project alignment.
Self Managing
Through our collaborative processes, our teams gain domain knowledge allowing for autonomous tech decisions to be made in line with your existing business processes
Traditional processes are great, but more than that we commit to ultimately value:
- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
- Working software over comprehensive documentation
- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
- Responding to change over following a plan

Two week sprint
Following sprint zero, your Agile Scrum team works on a two-week sprint performing a number of ceremonies in order to optimise value and productivity.
Sprint Planning
Sprint planning is conducted at the start of each sprint. The sprint plan details the work to be delivered by each member of the Development Team. Sprints are set up in Jira and made visible to all team members and other interested stakeholders resulting in accountability. Tasks are further broken down into story points in order to provide a quantifiable weekly velocity report.
1
Daily Scrum
Daily Scrum meetings occur internally and provide an opportunity for each team member to provide an update to the rest of the team, discuss progress and report any blockers to velocity. Finally each member will let the team know what their deliverables for the day are.
2
Client Stand-ups
A scrum meeting that involves all stakeholders and most importantly the client. The purpose of the client standup is to report project progress, communicate any issues faced, and receive business input where required.
3
Sprint Review
See the software progress at the end of each sprint during the Sprint Review. Clients are invited to participate and get a demo of the deliverables achieved within the sprint.
4
Sprint Retrospectives
Once the demo has occurred, the Sprint Retro is held in order to complete the two week sprint cycle. The purpose of the Sprint Retro is to discuss both positive and negative aspects of the sprint. This results in action learning and allows for continual team growth.
5
Communication tools
The ability to effectively communicate is paramount during the software development process, which is why we ensure appropriate channels of communication are put in place to help manage the process.
Face-to-face
We never forget the power of a face to face conversation. We’ll even get on a plane to meet you at your headquarters.
