Support
Agile Methodology is a software development cycle that adapts continuously throughout the project’s lifetime.
At Nespon, we implement Agile Methodologies into every aspect of our company, capitalizing on the efficiency of the method to continuously develop, test, and update each project we take on. Over the past 14+ years, we’ve used our experience to perfect how we use Agile Methodology to serve our customers better.
Agile enables us to maintain a thorough, streamlined software development process in which the project is broken down and divided into manageable sprints. These two-week sprints ensure that throughout the development and testing process we consistently adapt to changes in the software, make updates, and correct bugs. As a result, the products we develop stay up-to-date and our team members and customers get more satisfaction from seeing their work in action.
Scrum on Demand™
Boost your team’s productivity when projects get stalled. Nespon’s Scrum on Demand™ increases your workforce immediately without having to find and hire Agile experts. Our Agile experts use Scrum to help clients deliver projects faster, and with the highest quality.
In order to achieve faster results with better quality, we have perfected Scrum on Demand™ as our preferred Agile process. Scrum on Demand™ is our proprietary system for implementing the Agile Methodology for our customers. With Scrum on Demand™, one of our scrum teams is assigned to a client that needs production or development support to implement the Agile Scrum Methodology.
This scrum team consists of a project manager, sometimes called Scrum Master, analysts, and developers who will work with the client to create a plan of action. Each step of this plan is implemented in a two-week sprint, similar to Jira Sprints. Our specialized Scrum on Demand™ maintains open communication with the client to ensure the client’s vision is being fulfilled.
Agile Scrum Methodology Process
Requirement Analysis
Before we break down the project into sprints, our project manager, or scrum master, will meet with the client and take time to understand their vision for the project. We effectively prioritize tasks by working with the client to identify the product's design, purpose, and end user.
Documentation
With our understanding of the client’s desires for the project, we create a detailed design document (DDD) that clearly outlines the project goals and implementation plans. We will refer back to the DDD as the project progresses to ensure our team stays on track and focuses on the end goal.
Planning
With the DDD as a guide, the project manager identifies the final product of each sprint from the perspective of the end user and then breaks the sprints into even smaller subtasks, each with a completion estimate of two to three days. These are assigned to appropriate members of the scrum team.
Development
Each sprint is initialized when the subtasks are assigned to the product developers. Throughout development, the team will meet daily to discuss progress and resolve any issues that have surfaced. Since these subtasks only take a few days to complete, issues in design or planning are easily identified and the project moves quickly.
Testing
When a two-week sprint concludes, the system, application, or functionality is tested. In this step, the product that was developed over the course of the sprint is deployed into the test environment to ensure that it performs as intended. When the functionality is tested as an individual sprint, problems are much easier to identify and resolve.
Release
After a successful testing phase, the functionality is released as a small, manageable update to the application or system being developed and the goal for our end user is achieved. The sprint process is repeated as many times as necessary to implement further updates depending on our client's needs.
Maintenance
Any defects or issues our team discovers during the testing phase are easily tracked and resolved. When we perform this maintenance before release, we require fewer developers to resolve issues and the product can quickly re-enter the testing phase.
Benefits of Agile
Agile has many benefits over older methods. Most notably is that other methods tend to deliver products at the end of a long development phase, making small errors much more costly to fix than the continuous integration process of Agile.
Benefits of Nespon
We’re confident enough with our process to work efficiently and humble enough to constantly improve. Our extensive experience with the methods we employ and the products we create is the reason we’re the best at what we do.
After more than a decade of collaborating and combining our experience to perfect our Scrum on Demand™ process, we know the most efficient way to help our clients achieve their vision as we deliver high-quality software development, consistent maintenance, and streamlined product support.
