THE PROCESS

Step 1: Know what you are doing

Step 4: Let’s build!

The method, methodologies, framework or tools are usually this a team choice, that depends on the resources on hand, the previous experience, and the background of the leaders. Of these are tons, many good, some other very very good.

Here we present some options at a high level:

1. Agile Software Development

It has short steps which are achieved from one week to a month. You develop features or functionality in a short period of time involving the different areas that need to have an opinion on the product with the purpose of delivering soon and get feedback early in the project.

This is the best software development process for 1) a business that needs an adaptive approach because they have more changes than others and that’s why they need to work faster to attend client and market requirements 2) ideas that need direct communication and feedback from customer constantly.

2. Dynamic system development model

It is the best software development process in companies where the users' opinions are essential.

This process has the quality of developing software that is not perfect (but fast), that's why taking into consideration users’ opinions, reviews and experiences.

3. Waterfall model

This kind of software development methodology is not really common nowadays. Developers only can change things during the initial phase. Once they close the step, they shouldn’t go behind. You will finish each step and secure everything.

It works best where simplicity is desired, the product is very robust and is well documented and the probability of it to change is minimal. It is used for medium or small projects.

4. Scrum

With this framework, it is possible to know, correct and solve every situation during the phases of development because there are lots of team meetings and every step is measured constantly.

Step 5: Maintenance and support
