Agile software development
Agile software development nearshore – A powerful alternative when budgets are tight and resources limited
‘Waterfall’ or ‘MVP’?
New products or applications often fail because they were only developed on the basis of assumptions.
Many companies use this step-by-step approach even though, for example, a web application is not fully completed until the very end. This approach is called the “waterfall method”.
Our TENSTAGE programmers develop software agilely and strictly according to “MVP” principles. MVP is an acronym for “Minimum Viable Product”.
The term originates from Silicon Valley. There, technology companies are always on the lookout for ways to implement innovations more quickly. In this way, they can achieve major competitive advantages. Because of this, the MVP, especially in software development, has become the “holy grail” of agile product development in recent years.
Agile software development MVP
TENSTAGE helps your company start an MVP (with a rough goal in mind) instead of giving your team the task of creating detailed specifications for an application over weeks or months. Together, our software developers then “sprint” with your team from one “pit stop” to the next. In this way, we quickly receive feedback from users. This approach is known as “agility.”
For example, in the case of a web application, an MVP can therefore already represent a fully-fledged end product at every stage of development. The feedback and success helps us to continuously review our original assumptions. With each step, we further optimize the product.
At the end of the agile process, there is a successful product, e.g. a successful web application, which has been improved step-by-step and implemented at TENSTAGE with state-of-the-art technologies.
What is software development nearshore?
Tight IT budgets and often too few software developers in the own company lead in many cases to outsourcing of software development. This is called “nearshore software development”.
In this case, the company works with an external team that has specialized skills and expertise. It provides companies with access to experienced developers. These have a range of technical skills, such as cloud computing or UX design. Projects can thus be launched immediately. Therefore, companies often choose to have software developed in an agile way by a third party instead of the internal team.
