Development Process

We develop software applications using the Scrum methodology at Enclave. Scrum is an Agile method for project management with an iterative approach. The Scrum methodology manages the development process through many small steps, rather than trying to plan everything upfront. Its primary goal is to maximize the customer's ROI by creating working software rapidly and responding to changing requirements quickly.

Scrum relies on iterative development. This means that we focus on developing a product in short intervals of time (usually from two to four weeks). After each interval elapses, the direction of the project direction can be adjusted as needed to adapt to any new situation or circumstances. Each iteration is known as a “Sprint” and results in software functionality that is developed and tested progressively. The software can be deployed or shipped to the end users. Clients can provide feedback on any or all of the intermediate software builds. Clients have many opportunities to change the direction of the project if warranted by changing circumstances.

The Scrum methodology facilitates an exploratory approach to software development. It releases our clients from the challenge of having to deliver full requirements documentation up front. The agility of Scrum improves the transparency of projects by providing regularly updated information on the status of software development. This ensures that no issue are swept under the carpet and all stakeholders are kept aware of the team’s progress at all times.

Our Clients Say

During our sprint review meetings last week, when we were discussing what went well in the sprint, all three of my development teams mentioned the great work that your testing team was doing, and how much they are helping this project. I personally really enjoy working with all of them as well. I just wanted to say thank you very much for everything they’re doing – you have built a great team there!
Great Work, [Client] Director of Development, Australia
We have been so happy with the performance of the team so far, we are considering getting two more people from you to help with testing. Do you have anyone available right now? If so, would you be able to send through some details about them? Obviously, we would prefer people who had experience testing [a product name] before so they understand how to navigate the application, and people who work well with the team we already have.
Happy with Team Performance, [Client] Director of Development, Australia
I just wanted to say a big thank-you for all your hard work in this release! It’s been our best release so far; in the last sprint alone we got over 200 points, and your testing was a big part of that.
Hard Work, [Client] Director of Development, Australia
We’re all very impressed here with the work Enclave is doing, and I have quite frequently been praising the work of your teams to other managers here. I was speaking to our consulting manager yesterday, and he is thinking about setting up a more cost-effective technical practice to help with [a product name]. I suggested Enclave might be able to help.
Enclave Might Be Able to Help, [Client] Director of Development, Australia
To summarize: they're professional, they're competent, they deliver, we trust them, we want more of the same going forward.
Professional, Enclave Partners, Vietnam
To be fair, when we were looking for an ODC, we did look at a few others. But all of the other ODCs waved their ISO and CMMI certifications at us as proof of their abilities and frankly, all that proves to me is that they are not agile enough for our industry ([an industry name]). We chose Enclave on the basis of best-fit and their ability to work to our methodologies. It turned out to be a decision we do not regret for one minute.
Best-Fit and Ability to Work, Enclave Partners, Vietnam
Enclave has a superb set of senior engineering staff that guide and support the software engineering project teams. I can and do call on the software engineering director occasionally for assistance and get a rapid solution to the issue at hand.
Rapid Solution, [Client] CEO, USA
As an American-owned company with highly ethical senior management, Enclave has a very strong dedication to fair play in business and – importantly – to Intellectual Property protection. And they put that in writing with their standard NDA. I assure my customers with confidence that their IP rights and information confidentiality are safe with my company and with Enclave.
High Security and Ethic, [Client] CEO, USA
The Enclave environment includes best-practice standard processes for configuration control; source code management; project and task tracking; and simple, effective reporting. They do not focus on getting fancy certificates from ISO, CMMI, etc. They focus on living the processes in an agile manner.
