Change is inevitable. The Agile process permits, facilitates and welcomes change.

By delivering minimum working functions of business value per iteration, you get to re-evaluate what to do in the next iteration, based on usage of real working software.

Your requirements, priorities or even your strategy may change. What you actually want, may not be the same thing as what you thought you wanted. You find this out as soon as possible, rather than at the end of the project, minimising financial your risk.

The end result is a solution that maximises your return on investment, exactly meeting your business’s real needs, and eliminates risk of developing wasteful, unwanted or sub-optimal features.

However, we can guarantee NOT to exceed your budget.

We may not complete all the features you think you want, or in the way you think you want them to work, but we will deliver the features that are of the highest value to your business and will maximise your return on investment.

In addition, continuous prioritsation and frequent delivery of the features of highest business value, provide a maximum and earliest return on smaller initial investments.

The primary focus of the agile approach is on working software over comprehensive documentation that no-one ever reads, thus saving massive amounts time creating something that only gets used when the project is completed, to prove what is delivered is what you signed off, when you realise what is delivered doesn’t satisfy your users needs.

Initial contracts can just be for one or two iterations and we hope that over time you will come to see us as a business partner rather than in a client-vendor relationship, whereby you’ll become assured that our development team will adequately solve your problem for a reasonable cost.

Agile methodologies are all about trust, contracts are all about protection.

By working with us in this way you get continuous feedback and total visibility on actual vs planned progress. You will never get surprise bad news on the planned delivery date saying your project isn’t ready yet.

You’ll get to communicate directly to and work closely with the development team during each iteration planning meeting, eliminating middle-men which saves time and promotes consistent understanding, not to mention benefitting from the experience, knowledge and recommendations of the “troops on the ground”.

In addition, you’ll gain insight into what a feature costs, which allows you to make an informed decision about whether that development will provide a sufficient return on your investment.
