Agile in the core The essence of software development is actually quite simple: creating added value by developing high-quality software as productively as possible.

Within our Agile in the Core department a dedicated team of Agile experts offers trainings and consultancy to teach our customers the Agile principles. READ MORE Why Agile? Time The main reason for agile development is still faster time-to-market. Define the lead time and the number of man days in advance. Budget Avoid discussion and freeze the budget in advance. Budget control is essential during the project, and the business requirements have to be tested continuously. Flexibility Agile also means a flexible scope. If laws or strategy in the management changes, there has to be sufficient flexibility to change the functionality. Involvement Shared involvement of marketing and IT, finance and IT, and of other departments that are involved and IT are required to deliver results, and applications that are actually used. Visibility Frequent interaction between the business and IT helps to avoid the Robinson Crusoe syndrome, i.e. the application is isolated on a desert island for so long that no one will recognise it. Value Active involvement of business managers in the development process ensures the right priorities are set. That requires commitment. Low risk High involvement of the business lowers the risk of setting incorrect priorities during the development process.

It includes applications for planning, managing child care, invoicing to customers, etc. The technology they used for the development of the software was outdated, which is why it could not be integrated with the Web.
