At a time when technological development is moving at a dizzying pace, customers' expectations of software providers are extremely high. Companies are looking for flexible, efficient and quickly delivered solutions. Traditional approaches to project management, such as the cascade model, do not always meet these requirements. In such situations, Agile methodology, which we use at software house 2Simple to deliver high-quality solutions to our customers in the shortest possible time, comes to our aid.
Agile is an approach to project management that emphasizes flexibility, adaptability and continuous value delivery. Unlike classical methodologies, Agile does not involve detailed planning of the entire project from start to finish. Instead, projects are divided into short iterations (phases, sprints), which typically last between 1 and 4 weeks. Each iteration ends with the delivery of a working piece of the product, which can be immediately tested and evaluated by the customer.
At 2Simple, we work agilely (Agile) to deliver to our customers exactly what they need and when they need it. This allows us to respond quickly to changing requirements and deliver products that meet the expectations of the business, rather than simply executing a preconceived plan.
At software house 2Simple, every collaboration begins with understanding the client's needs. We analyze its business goals, challenges and expectations for the future application. Then we get to work, following the principles of the Agile Manifesto, which allows us to effectively manage the project and deliver a product that brings real value.
In Agile, collaboration between the software house and the customer is key. It's not just about gathering requirements at the beginning of the project and closing the topic. The client is an active participant in the project at every stage of its implementation. Regular meetings allow for constant exchange of information, verification of progress and adjustment to current needs.
At 2Simple, we hold regular meetings with our clients to ensure full transparency and the ability to actively influence the direction of a mobile or web application. This ensures that our customers not only see progress, but can also make changes in real time.
The Agile approach involves getting a minimum viable product (MVP) to the customer as soon as possible. This is a basic version of the application that works and achieves the specified business goals. This allows the client to use the emerging software already during the project. This reduces the so-called time-to-value, i.e. the time needed to achieve the first measurable benefits from the software implementation. It also provides an opportunity to quickly verify that the application meets business objectives and how it should be developed.
Agile is based on the principle of short cycles - iterations. Each iteration begins with planning, during which the project team establishes the priorities and scope of work for the upcoming period. At the end of each iteration, we deliver a working piece of software that can be tested by the customer. This approach minimizes the risk of discrepancies between customer expectations and the final product.
Through iteration, the client gains full control over the shape of the project, and our team can quickly adapt to changing market conditions, new technologies or guidelines.
Agile methodology has many advantages. Thanks to it, the applications delivered by 2Simple successfully achieve our clients' business goals. Here are the most important ones:
In a rapidly changing world, change is inevitable. Agile allows you to adapt quickly to new customer requirements or changing market conditions. In traditional methods, changing the plan during the course of a project could lead to delays and significant cost increases. In Agile, changes are a natural part of the process and are implemented without major problems.
Agile is based on close cooperation with the client. Through regular communication, the client always knows what stage the project is at and what progress has been made. This level of transparency builds trust and gives the client confidence that the project is going according to plan - or that the changes that have been made actually meet their current needs.
Through an iterative approach, the software is regularly tested and improved. The client has the opportunity to evaluate progress and make comments on an ongoing basis, leading to a higher level of alignment of the final product with the client's expectations. Instead of waiting for the entire project to be completed, the client sees tangible results of the team's work in the early stages.
In traditional IT projects, the risk of problems often only becomes apparent at the end of the process, when fixing errors is costly and time-consuming. In Agile, each iteration is a separate sub-project that is analyzed, evaluated and refined, minimizing the risk of errors early on.
Regular delivery of results and flexible sprint scheduling gives you more control over expenses and project costs. Moreover, with Agile, you can avoid implementing unnecessary functionality.
At 2Simple, Agile is not just a methodology - it is a philosophy of work. It allows us to effectively provide our customers with high-quality solutions that meet their expectations. Our experience in working in an agile approach allows us to respond quickly to customer needs and create products that bring real benefits.
Are you looking for a software house that focuses on flexibility, quick adaptation to your needs, and continuous cooperation at every stage of the project? 2Simple is the perfect choice. With Agile, we don't just deliver software, we build products that grow with your business.
