WebDev Operational Goals

Agile

We make decisions at the “last responsible moment”: Never so early that we exclude opportunity, never so late that we create obstacles to implementation of our plan. Our methodologies avoid “Big Design Up Front” and ensure that we are able to quickly adapt to changing market conditions as well as a changing requirements from within.

Usable

Our software and systems are self-documenting and easy to use. We use familiar idioms wherever possible. We keep easy things easy, while making hard things possible. This approach applies to our end-user products as well as our internal code architecture. We use industry recognised visual and software design patterns wherever possible.

Collaborative

Our software and systems emphasise collaboration on all levels. Collaboration between team members within the department diffuses knowledge, eliminates key man issues, and enables scalability. Collaboration between departments reduces friction and enables company-wide efficiency. Collaboration among users promotes a sense of community leading to higher retention and improved brand image while adding valuable meta-data to our products.
