Sentri applies an agile approach adapting the best features of SCRUM and Configuration to projects where early success must be demonstrated yet requirements may not be fully known. The approach is lightweight and manages development work through frequent and small releases. It emphasizes working solution as the primary measure of progress.

The approach is founded on solid and proven software engineering best practices

• Test driven development, continuous integration, re-factoring, standards-based implementation, build on object-oriented analysis and design and service oriented architectures.

Customer Benefits

• Specifically designed to efficiently cope with change. Avoids high cost of change management and inflexible solutions in traditional approaches. Involves stakeholders in the evolution of the solution.

• Customer satisfaction by rapid, continuous delivery of useful software.

• Focuses on producing prioritized, usable features.

• Identifies and communicates problems early.

• Quality of resulting solution is greater than with traditional approaches.

How Does Sentri Agile Development Work?

• Small teams of highly skilled, multi-disciplined Consultants.

• A series of iterations (in the order of weeks not months) where each sprint is a mini Configuration Cycle.

• Visible, usable increments to deployed solution.

• Value is placed on real-time and ongoing communication as opposed to heavy weight documentation.

• Usage of modern lightweight development tools to allow ‘quick’ change.

• Regimented opportunities for change management to allow prioritization and focus on delivery.
