INFORLINX teams have successfully adopted Agile software development methodology and use it at work selectively depending on the project scope and customer's requirements. Agile proved to be a cost-wise and efficient methodology for software projects that are vulnerable to emergent changes Agile is a set of values and principles that focus on delivery of working software every iteration in short periods of time. Each iteration is regarded as an entire software project, including planning, requirements analysis, design, coding, testing, and documentation. Improvement or addition of new functionality takes place within next iteration.
The Agile approach is orthogonal to traditional processes, emphasizing the generation of test cases early in the development cycle. Developers code directly against the test case, and when the test passes, the feature is considered complete. Agile also creates smaller development tasks that are easier to test and change as needed - this is a key benefit when conducting offshore development, as it reduces overall risk of failure and makes the project easier to manage. Another key Agile concept is that it does not require organizations to "rip and replace" their existing development and testing tools - it merely uses them in a different, more efficient manner.
Agile methods emphasize face-to-face communication over written documents. Our Agile team members are located in the same office, which promotes prompt knowledge sharing and better understanding of urgent issues. Each team may include programmers, analysts, QA members, interaction designers, technical writers, and other specialists as per project scope.
INFORLINX put into practice the following Agile Manifesto principles:
- Customer satisfaction by rapid, continuous delivery of useful software
- Working software is the principal measure of progress
- Close, daily cooperation between business people and developers
- Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication
- Projects are built around motivated individuals, who should be trusted
- Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design
- Regular adaptation to changing circumstances
During the time of project development some circumstances and requirements from the customer’s side may change. Realizing that, INFORLINX business analysts and project managers came to the conclusion that work should be performed in a highly collaborative manner and characterized by flexibility to continuous changes. Agile methodology meets the aforesaid by offering a number of other outstanding benefits.
INFORLINX has gone one step further by modeling the progress of an Agile development cycle for small web design and development called focus.
We approach to the task with a proven methodology, which always enables us to produce error-free results in a time saving and cost-effective way--with an indigenous methodology called focus.
FOCUS has five preset steps, to work upon a project theme-in the most effective way.
Focus Stands for
- F - Find
- O - Organize
- C - Create
- U - Update
- S – Shoot
Find
Initially, we try to understand the complete requirements of the client, for this we study about the nature of the business. A thorough analysis is done, to know and to perceive the organization and their business focus (client interactive sessions are involved in some studies).
We believe in learning and understanding the Subject, as a basic tool to implement and to apply newer perspectives into it.
Organize
We arrive at knowing the customer, with the find process and then we start the planning session of the work- the areas, which call for enhancement and also the strategies to be implemented.
This is the phase of Strategy, Smart ideologies and applied logics. We have an in-depth concept of planning with our vast experience of handling projects, which also gave us some common methodology Factors needed to apply for better propelling of theme phases.
Create
To create is to implement the strategy with innovation & refined application of technological resources, thus is a process of development, balancing the creative potentiality and technical skills. The core effort is to produce the most efficient results, the process involves liberal ambience for the team with interactive sessions for better ideas.
Up-date
We are poised with the passion to give you a winning edge; to be a winner you must be at the technological best, for this, we strive to bring you the most up-dated technical back-up, customized and apt for your organization set-up.
Shoot
This is the final stage, where we deliver the project after a thorough quality check and perfect conclusions from every end. We call it Shoot, as we make things ready for the show, the focus of the spotlight.
