Partnerships and recognitions

Among our clients

Our clients say

With vertscend, we’ve been able to reduce our development costs and decrease the timeline on new features and updates. vertscend attention to detail in how everything is documented and communicated is by far the best of any agency that I’ve worked with. The communication and agreement process when starting a new project has been by far the easiest to handle and most professional I’ve seen.

Bob Penland

CTO, TruMethods

 

vertscend proved to be a professional service provider from the outset. We appreciate their proactive approach and ability to suggest improvements to a prospective solution on both architectural and business levels. We know we can always rely on vertscend various competencies when our clients require quality software which would facilitate their business success.

Mikhail Anfimau

Senior Solution Architect, Leo Burnett

Over the past 10 years we’ve worked on about ten mobile app development projects with vertscend. It was our first encounter with an outsourcing company. The relationship turned out to be very good, so we saw no need to look for other suppliers.

Software Development Methodologies We Employ

Scrum

Software development is done in Sprints, 2-3-week iterations with identified granular goals and backlogs. The following practices are common: sprint planning meeting, daily stand-ups, sprint review (and demo), retrospective, backlog refinement (grooming).

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.

Kanban

The work is done in very short Sprints, often daily. Daily (or once in 2 days) meetings are held to discuss progress and priorities. The team uses the Kanban Board that provides a clear representation of all project activities, responsible persons, and progress. 

Best for: software support and evolution projects.

Specific cases

Linear: the sequential approach in which the next chunk of work is done when the previous one is finished and approved by the stakeholders.

Waterfall

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.

More details about pros and cons of each software development model are here.

Note: 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.
