Methodology

At Intelliarts we do not stick to any particular software development process or methodology. We realize that there is no process which is suitable for all projects. We prefer individual approach to every project. The team can easily adopt any methodology suggested or being used by the customer.

We are familiar with all the most popular software development methodologies like unified process, extreme programming, SCRUM and others. If the customer doesn't have any preferred process we work together to choose the one which is the most convenient for both parties and the most efficient for a particular project.

Mainly we incline to using agile methodology rather than a formal one. Using a lightweight process allows us to start the project quickly, slightly increment product functions within each 2-4 weeks iteration, quickly handle requirements changes and much more. All those suit the best for goal-driven projects.

However there are a lot of cases when the agile approach can not be used for one or several reasons. Then we often use the Unified Process (UP) approach. The main advantage of the UP is that we can tune and make the process as heavy as we need for a particular project.

Even within more formal processes with a significant amount of documentation produced we often use various agile techniques like test-driven development, continuous integration, refactoring and so on.
