Our Methodology for Project Delivery

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.
During the design phase of a project, ABIE focuses on delivering a comprehensive suite of services that include strategy, architecture, design, and planning, each tailored to meet the specific needs of their clients. Initially, the strategic services involve a deep dive into understanding the client’s business objectives, market environment, and the technological landscape. ABIE’s team collaborates closely with stakeholders to align the software project with broader business goals, ensuring that the developed solution drives competitive advantage and aligns with the client’s strategic vision. This strategic alignment is crucial as it sets the direction for the project, influencing all subsequent decisions regarding technology and implementation. In the architectural design stage, ABIE’s team develops a robust framework for the software solution. This involves selecting the right technology stack and designing a scalable and secure architecture that supports the client’s current and future needs. Considerations include data handling, integration capabilities with other systems, and compliance with regulatory requirements. The architecture is designed to be resilient, ensuring that the software remains operational and efficient under varying loads and when facing potential security threats. ABIE’s architects also focus on creating modular architectures that allow for easier maintenance and future updates without disrupting the existing system operations. Once the strategic and architectural foundations are set, ABIE moves into the detailed design phase. Here, the focus is on crafting user interfaces and experiences that are intuitive and engaging. Design teams work on wireframes, user flow diagrams, and interactive prototypes, receiving continuous feedback to refine the product. This iterative design process ensures that the final product not only meets functional requirements but also delivers a superior user experience. Technical design elements such as database schemas, code structure, and API designs are also finalized during this phase, preparing the project for the transition to development. Finally, the planning services at ABIE organize the project’s progression into a structured timeline, detailing milestones, deliverables, and resource allocations. Effective project management practices are employed to monitor progress, control scope, and ensure that the project remains on schedule and within budget. Risk management strategies are developed to anticipate and mitigate potential setbacks during the development phase. Regular meetings and updates keep all stakeholders informed, ensuring transparency throughout the project lifecycle. This careful planning is crucial for the seamless execution of the project, ensuring that all elements from the design phase transition smoothly into development and ultimately lead to the successful launch of the software.
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. Topics including color pallets, icons, logos, and other aesthetic elements are discussed.
