Agile Software Engineering

Deliver early and incremental value from new digital products and services, and make rapid improvements to your existing applications.

A sequential waterfall approach is necessary to design and build things like bridges. However, it’s less effective for designing, building and running digital products and services where business priorities, user needs, and technology change quickly.

Agile is no longer the new kid on the block. Over more than two decades, organisations of all sizes and cultures have shaped repeatable methods of applying agile principles with right-size governance to deliver projects successfully.

Achieve your goals with us

At Scott Logic, we have a long track record of successfully delivering software engineering projects using agile methodologies. Importantly, we are pragmatic in our application of agile – we don’t believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach to delivery.

Our consultants quickly assess the delivery context and then identify the best combination of methodology, tools and communication styles that work for your project and your organisation. Our experience and authenticity mean we work as a trusted partner and deliver successful outcomes iteratively.

Principles of our successful approach

Work as one team

We promote a one-team approach, working with you and your stakeholders as a single, cohesive unit with shared goals, responsibilities, risks and deadlines.

Strive to be agile

We strive to be agile in how we manage your project and stay flexible to change. But we don’t force Agile methodologies on your organisation if they’re not right for you.

Fail fast, learn quickly

Our commitment to shared responsibilities isn’t just for when things are going smoothly. We believe in ‘fail fast, learn quickly’, a principle grounded in being completely transparent with our clients and reporting on an ongoing basis.

Release regularly

We create an incremental strategy for delivery, underpinned by engineering practices and processes that automate the software release pipeline, enabling regular releases of working software and delivering frequent value to your organisation.

Improve continuously

Our processes are constantly evolving and there is no final stage of improvement. Regular experimentation is vital to adapt to new technologies, challenges and stakeholder expectations.
