Shinetech designed a three- man team working under agile method for an UK ISV. (January 29, 2010)
Shinetech signed contracts with a UK ISV last week for co-development of one of its products. The UK company has 15 developers internally and intends to have 5+ new software products online in 2010. The cooperation started with a full time three – man team which is expected to involve 15 developers in the near future.
According to the client's current situation and outsourcing plan, we designed the team with one lead developer, two intermediate developers and a part time team leader to coordinate internal and external processes and to manage team expansion issues. With regard to the team responsibilities, we proposed to start from the implementation level to avoid the low efficiencies caused by initial knowledge shortage of client's business.
The software product requiring co-developing is mainly based on Java, XML and Swing.
Currently, the cooperation is in the initial phase to establish and practice the most suitable working process for both sides: sprint management, daily meeting, test driven development and code reviews are all Included in the daily working activities.
