Methodology

Project management is based on Agile Scrum methodology

  • Project backlog (list of features to be implemented) collects in form of functional definitions all features
  • Sprint backlog includes all features to be developed during a sprint (a determined period of time)
  • Sprints are always relatively short in duration, in average 4-6 weeks
  • The exact content is agreed upon in the beginning of respective sprints
  • During each sprint its features are defined in detail: functional definitions, technical planning, configuration, testing and eventually deployment to production

Modularity

  • Due to the modular architecture all system can be delivered in (sprint conforming) units
  • During all the development work it is possible to prioritize the project backlog according to customer needs

 Project communication

  • JAS iComm, a tool based on Open Source Jforum, is used as an efficient tool for joint communication between participating parties
  • JAS iComm adds transparency to all project
  • JAS iComm leaves audit trail on all communication events. This feature enables easy project learned lessons utilization in further development.
