Project Methodology

Agile methodology not only underpins our project management approach, but our project mindset

We use Agile. What does that mean?

Tradit ional Pr o j e c t M a n a g e m e n t A g i l e P r o j e c t M a n a g e m e n t

All features and requirements are fixed at the start of the project.

Project starts with a backlog of desired features. Items are selected on a sprint-by-sprint basis from the backlog.

Specifications are planned in detail before starting work.

General functionality is defined for each backlog task, but specifics are flexible.

Adding or changing features after the project has started requires a formal change order.

Adding or changing features can be done any time, by managing the backlog.

Timeline is fixed. Timeline is flexible.
