What Helps Us Run Software Development Projects Smoothly

Software quality controls

We adhere to coding standards and employ all-round software testing to maintain a quality management system at the level required by ISO 9001.

Accurate budgeting

We decide on programming tools, cloud services, team composition upon a careful preliminary analysis of requirements and available options.

Realistic estimation of deadlines

We factor in software complexity, sophistication of the technology stack, and team’s expertise; decompose a project roadmap into smaller steps and compute a safety factor to assess project duration accurately.

Transparent service delivery

We report on the project progress, talk openly about emerging risks or delays and quickly tweak the development process to minimize schedule variations and waste.

Cultivation of software improvements

We proactively advise on new features, UX improvements, competitive advantages to make the software your best investment.

Tailored communication with stakeholders

We vary the frequency, means, level of detail, format of communication as agreed with your stakeholders.

It takes from 1 week to conduct cost-benefit analysis, estimate NVP, ROI.

Architecture, UX and UI design

It takes from 2 weeks to 3 months to:

Define app architecture, techs, data flow and integration points.
Conduct UX research, design wireframes, prototypes, and interface mockups.

Note: If possible, ScienceSoft will re-use parts of your existing enterprise systems rather than develop new software modules, for lower cost and higher reliability of your software.

MVP launch (upon request)

The delivery of the first working version of enterprise software takes from 1 month.

Development and testing

Agile delivery of new software parts in 2-week releases. Continuous safe minor releases via automated CI/CD pipelines.
Analysis of emerging needs and the release planning.
Approving the release scope.
Delivering and reviewing mockups.
Developing and testing the approved software part, migrating the developed software part to the staging and production environment.
Getting feedback from a project sponsor and users on the results of the release.
Reviewing the results of the completed release and approving the scope of the next release.

Note: Small, well-defined projects can be delivered in a linear mode with one major release.

Deployment (and 3-month maintenance)

Conducting user acceptance testing (UAT).

Establishing software monitoring processes.
Defining new roles and responsibilities for application support in your and our teams.

Note: ScienceSoft recommends trial implementation for a limited number of users to minimize possible downtimes in production. Trial stages usually take up to 1-3 months.

Project handover / continuous support (on demand)

Performing knowledge transfer to your in-house IT team/other vendors.
Providing the final report and requesting your confirmation for the project closure.

For commercial software products

Analyze the needs and wants of the target audience and create a product concept.
Define product differentiation and formulate a unique selling proposition for a product to stand out from the competition.
Describe obstacles that can hinder entering a given market or industry sectors (including regulatory barriers) and decide how to address them.

It takes from 2 weeks to:

Prepare the list of app features and integrations.
Prepare the project roadmap with major milestones.
Define the customer acquisition/conversion/retention strategy.
Define the monetization model.

Choosing an Optimal Pace for Your Project

Scrum development

Software development is done in Sprints, 2-3-week iterations with identified granular goals and backlogs. We ensure process transparency via sprint planning meetings, daily stand-ups, sprint review (and demo), retrospective, backlog refinement (grooming).

Details

Best for: any product development project with a need to test the idea, midsize projects in custom software development where software requirements cannot be accurately defined, incremental development of large complex software (which is easy to divide into small functional parts) to start getting value fast.

Hide

Kanban development

The work is done in very short Sprints, often daily. Meetings are held daily or once in 2 days to follow the progress and prioritize next steps. We use the Kanban Board for a clear representation of all project activities, responsible persons, and progress.

Details

Best for: software support and evolution projects.

Hide

Waterfall development

Each next chunk of work is done when the previous one is finished and approved by the stakeholders. The approach demands due diligence at the investigation and planning stage to have all requirements and risks covered.

Details

Best for: small and midsize projects with clearly defined and unchanging requirements, projects requiring formal approvals (governmental projects and projects for big corporations), projects with strict compliance requirements.

Hide

Boris Shiklo

ScienceSoft’s CTO with 20+ years of experience

For many projects it makes sense to use a combination of approaches or switch from one to another depending on the project stage. In our practice, the most common scenarios are ‘Waterfall -> Scrum’, ‘Scrum -> Kanban -> Scrum’. Since switching to a new methodology entails new tools and new processes, a pre-switch intro meeting or mini-training should be conducted by the vendor to keep project running effectively from day one.

Costs of Software Development at ScienceSoft

Major cost factors:

Application type (web, mobile, desktop); number of platforms and OS versions supported.
The number and complexity of application features.
The number of user roles.
The number and complexity of integrations with third-party systems.

Application availability, performance, security, latent capacity and scalability requirements.
Special features required (e.g.,ML-based).
Uniqueness and complexity of the UI design.
