Our goal is to create a recipe for our customers that is understandable and repeatable.

ABIE’s software development methodology utilizes Agile/Scrum, leveraging the various ceremonies that are an integral part of the overall process, including daily standup meetings, Scrum planning sessions, and sprint demos.
The Design Phase is the first of the 4 pillars of the ABIE 4D Methodology, and is the most important. It comprises of the overall design of the project, which includes coming up with technology and marketing strategies, the overall architecture, and the look/feel of the solution.
Planning – During the initial phases of a project, ABIE discusses the various initial planning activities to ensure the scope, functionality, and overall solution will meet the client’s needs. During the initial meetings, the following activities may be required to be performed:
Strategy — Strategy sessions are required to discuss the various approaches ABIE will take, how frequently the client will be involved, the objectives of the project, sales and marketing strategies, implementation strategies, testing strategies, and the goals that are required to be achieved for a successful rollout, etc.
Architecture — Technical decisions regarding the architecture of the solution will be made to ensure the right technologies are utilized for the implementation of the project. Decisions will be made including: cloud providers, backend services, 3rd party services, integration with existing and/or new services, firewall and other network and infrastructure decisions, etc.
Design — The overall user experience, the look and feel, and the navigation of the app is discussed during this phase of the project. Ensuring the solutions is intuitive, easy to use, and provides a sense of confidence is paramount to the success of the project.
