Our Agile work process

At Computing Ink, we use Agile concepts for the development process. The use of these methodologies enables us to develop superior products, improves project predictability, increases flexibility, reduces risks, and leaves sufficient room for relevant metrics and continuous improvement.

Project Initiation:

Define the project vision and objectives.
Form the Agile team, including product owner, Scrum Master, and development team.
Identify stakeholders and their roles.

Product Backlog:

Create a list of all the features, user stories, and tasks required for the project.
Prioritize items based on their importance and value to the customer.
Continuously update and refine the backlog as requirements evolve.

Sprint Planning:

Select a set of items from the product backlog for the upcoming sprint (usually 2-4 weeks).
Define the sprint goal and scope.
Break down selected items into tasks.
Estimate the effort required for each task.

Sprint Execution:

Daily Standup Meetings: Team members share progress, discuss challenges, and plan the day's work.
Develop, test, and integrate the selected user stories and tasks.
Collaborate closely with the product owner to ensure the work aligns with customer needs.

Sprint Review:

Demonstrate the completed work to stakeholders, including the product owner and end-users.
Gather feedback and make any necessary adjustments to the product backlog.
Review what was accomplished during the sprint.

Sprint Retrospective:

Reflect on the sprint process, discussing what went well and what could be improved.
Identify action items to enhance team performance and productivity in future sprints.

Incremental Development:

Continue with the next sprint, repeating the planning, execution, review, and retrospective steps.
Build on the previously completed work, gradually delivering a potentially shippable product.

Release Planning:

Plan the release of the product, including the prioritization of features for each release.
Set the release schedule and milestones.

Quality Assurance and Testing:

Conduct continuous testing throughout the development process to ensure product quality.
Implement automated testing to detect and fix issues early in the development cycle.
