Our approach allows us to deliver rapid results and accelerated returns with the flexibility for change and growth.

Continuous, regular releases of working software and seamless integration.
Adaptability and scalability to support future growth or changing business needs.
Close and regular communication and collaboration - a client (as the Product Owner) is a part of the development team and typically meets with us every 2 or 4 weeks - a period referred to as a Sprint.
Work is only ever tackled in the priority defined by the client, providing the functionality that is required more urgently.
The priority of upcoming work can be changed at any time by the client.
At the end of each sprint, software is deployed.
Rapid and regular returns on investment - real value is delivered at the completion of each & every sprint!.

A little history

Pinesoft is closely aligned with the Agile Manifesto

Between February 11th and 13th 2001 (at The Lodge in Snowbird - a ski resort in the Wasatch mountains of Utah), developers and programmers alike, met to talk about how to significantly improve the process of software development.

The result was the Agile Manifesto - a response to an IT industry with a track record of broken promises on delivery dates, budgets and functionality.

The Agile Manifesto

The manifesto sets out twelve key principles for excellence in software development and our ‘Express Software Development’ fully embraces these principles:

Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.
Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer's competitive advantage.
Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.
Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support they need and trust them to get the job done.
The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation.
Working software is the primary measure of progress.
Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.
Simplicity - the art of maximizing the amount of work not done is essential.
The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.

Many development houses claim their work fulfils these Agile principles, but they fail to realise Agiles full potential. Our teams exceed this potentioal and deliver real working software, in real time, with real quality.
