Agile and Our SDLC
Golden Guru is able to produce high quality, highly-functional products and services for its clients in part through the use of Agile software development practices combined with a comprehensive knowledge and use of SDLCs (Software Development Life Cycles). As a result, GG staff and their code are flexible, sound, and organized.
SDLC, or Software Development Life Cycle, is the methodology developers and managers use to control and structure the creation of an information system. An SDLC attempts to break down the process of information development into components and encourages research, foresight, and flexibility to changes. Several SDLC methodologies exist, including "waterfall" and Agile development. GG believes that several phases of development can and must occur simultaneously. Such an SDLC requires organization and constant communication between staff and clients and the ability to conceptualize the big picture while simultaneously working on several of its smaller parts. The result is quality code which is easy to maintain, highly functional, quickly produced, and exceeds client expectations.
Agile software development philosophy helps guide Golden Guru's overall SDLC. Valuing client satisfaction chiefly, but also the quick delivery of working software, communicative interaction, and simplicity, Agile philosophy promotes trust and satisfaction between the software developer and the client. Successful Agile requires self-motivated, highly-organized individuals committed to ethical business practices; they must heed input and pursue excellence. GG has hand-picked its staff from amongst the best in these demands.
