Agile is an umbrella term for different methodologies and frameworks united by the common philosophy captured in the Agile Manifesto. Agile development companies like us implement specific frameworks, tools, and practices to maximize team productivity and streamline the process of application development.
Agile comes with several strategic advantages:
Here are some of the Agile methodology tactics we include in the daily work of our development teams:
We use this lightweight project management framework to manage iterative and incremental projects. We owe the success of our software development process to Scrum's unbeatable simplicity, productivity, and flexibility. It's the best framework in agile methodologies for teams that need to deliver results fast.
This strategy comes in handy for helping the team focus on delivering value to the customer in a timely manner. It's a constantly evolving and flexible methodology that can match a broad range of projects and organizations. Every company that aims to build a successful digital product can reap many benefits from this approach.
We use this visual workflow management method to manage product development. It allows us to maintain continuous delivery without overburdening the development team. Kanban is a handy agile methodology for keeping teams on the right track, which is used across the tech community.
Teaming up with an Agile software development team is a smart move. Why? Because Agile methods bring fantastic results. Almost 1 in 4 of the highest performing companies completed projects with Agile or hybrid approaches. (Project Management Institute, 2018).

What are the benefits of agile software development?
Agile software development is based on smaller iterations and increments. Instead of dedicating a lot of time to planning at the beginning of the project, agile methodologies allow teams to change project requirements during the project. Agile also encourages constant feedback from end-users to ensure that the project developed in line with the company's business objectives and customer needs.
Advantages of Agile software development:
Which web development languages, frameworks, and tools do you use?
We use Python as the first-choice backend language, Django as the main framework, and the Django REST Framework for building web APIs. We also use the React stack as the main framework and Node.js as server-side programming in JavaScript.
How do you estimate budgets for agile projects?
By default, we work in agile environments, mostly using the Scrum framework. That being said, there’s actually no significant difference in budgeting such projects. We work with our development team to prepare a ballpark estimate which showcases the time and price range which we think the project will take and cost, respectively.
Precise estimates are created thanks to our Product Design process which allows us to understand your business goals, define your value proposition, and design your product from paper mockups, through low-fidelity wireframes up to high-fidelity prototypes. You also receive a product backlog together with the estimate.
Who owns the copyright to work delivered by your team?
All our work is carried out on a 'work-for-hire' basis, and the Intellectual Property Rights are assigned to the client upon payment.
Which cooperation model is the best for building a digital product?
Dedicated team and team extension (staff augmentation) works best for existing products that companies want to scale quickly. Outsourcing a software development project to a specialized company is a good solution for every stage of the product development lifecycle - for both building an MVP and scaling an existing product. Another option is consulting services which come in handy at various stages of product development.
