Our approach to Agile Software Development
The senior team at Kynetix have been working in rapid application development (RAD) environments for over 20 years.
With a background as the world's first certified consultants in Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) we have extensive experience in using Agile development techniques (including SCRUM) to get software delivered quickly, on time and on budget.
We choose to use Agile development techniques as we truly believe that this gives our clients the system they need in the shortest time possible and for the least cost possible.
We are pragmatic, rather than religious, about how we work on any given project. We adapt our approach to match our clients' requirements and their ability to work in an Agile manner.
We recognise that some clients are not be able to give us the full commitment to a dedicated SCRUM approach so we adapt our approach to ensure that we deliver software at a speed that clients can handle.
We also recognise that not all parts of a project lend themselves to an Agile approach. For instance, a data migration phase might require a more methodical approach so we plan for this within an overall Agile project.
The core philosophy of Agile is to deliver fast and deliver often. Doing this means that our clients start working with the software at the earliest stage possible which then influences the content of future releases. Each release acts as a checkpoint and ensures that the software evolves in line with the absolute requirements of our client. The result is no wasted features and no wasted cost.
The benefits our clients get from an Agile development approach are:
- Time-to-benefit is reduced. You get your software delivered quicker and can therefore start reaping the benefits sooner.
- You get the right software for your business. The process ensures that the focus is on those features that are really needed.
- The software is delivered for the lowest possible cost. By eliminating waste we shorten development and testing times which leads to lower cost.
Our services include:
- Application Design & Software Development. New leading-edge solutions built on the .NET platform. Whether deployed internally or across the Internet.
- Application Support Contracts. When you’d like a formal support agreement for your new or existing Microsoft applications.
- Co-Sourcing on Live Projects. Our software development experts work with your teams to deliver business solutions rapidly. An ideal way for your people to gain skills in the latest technologies.
- Application Upsizing. If an application is failing to scale with the business we can help you migrate it to a suitable platform. What started as a small tactical application may now be mission critical so it needs to be both stable and scalable to meet the growing demand.
- Skills Transfer. Our Microsoft Certified Professionals transfer their skills to your team.
